CINCINNATI — A 33-year-old man has been arrested after a hit-and-run in downtown Cincinnati sent a woman to the hospital early Wednesday morning.
Cincinnati police first responded to a crash at the intersection of 3rd and Broadway at around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday. When they arrived, they found only one woman inside her car at the scene.
EMS transported the woman to UC Medical Center, but officials have not released any details on the extent of her injuries. Police said her car was hit so hard that the engine came out of the vehicle.
The striking vehicle left the scene. However, an investigation report says a camera spotted the driver leaving the crash site.
Police were able to track the driver, identified as Richard Harris, to Lower Price Hill. He was arrested just before 3:45 a.m. Wednesday for failure to stop after a crash. Police said that during his arrest, he was also found to have an active warrant for domestic violence out of Middletown.
On Thursday, Harris appeared in court, where the judge ordered he be held on a $50,000 bond.
