WYOMING, Mich. (AP) - A man charged with failing to stop at an accident after a Grand Rapids-area woman was struck and killed by a truck equipped with a snowplow has waived his right to a probable cause hearing and had his case bound over to Kent County Circuit Court.
Twenty-one-year-old Austin Hill remained jailed on a $1 million bond following the court appearance Wednesday.
The victim, 26-year-old Chelsea Crawford, was struck Jan. 10 while she walked on a road in the Grand Rapids suburb of Wyoming. Hill’s truck was located that night and he was arrested the following day. Video from cameras on a nearby property played a key role in the investigation.
Hill’s attorney, Freeman Haehnel, is negotiating with Kent County prosecutors on a possible plea agreement.
