BANGOR, Maine – A Brewer man was arrested Sunday morning following a hit-and-run incident on I-395 that hospitalized a 20-year-old woman.
The crash occurred around 11:49 a.m. Saturday in the westbound lanes near the Main Street overpass. A black Ford Mustang collided with a Volkswagen coupe, causing the coupe to leave the roadway and roll down an embankment.
The 20-year-old woman from Chester sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital, authorities said. The Mustang reportedly spun into a concrete jersey barrier; its driver fled the scene on foot.
Despite a search by Maine State Police and local agencies, the driver was not immediately located. A photo submitted to the Maine State Police 411-Tip Line helped identify him as the registered owner of the Mustang.
David Harris, 48, of Brewer, was found and arrested at his apartment around 7:40 a.m. Sunday. He faces charges of leaving the scene of a crash with injury, aggravated driving to endanger, failure to make an oral accident report, and operating without a license. The first two charges are classified as Class C felonies.
The investigation into the crash is ongoing, according to authorities.
