TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) - Police in Tempe say a suspect in a hit-and-run that killed a female pedestrian and injured a man has been arrested.
They say 36-year-old Clyde Thatcher has been booked into a Phoenix jail on suspicion of several charges including manslaughter, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and hit-and-run causing death.
Police say impairment was a factor in Sunday morning’s fatal crash but excessive speed was not.
The case remains under investigation.
They say 42-year-old Kelly Maeve Scott died from her injuries at a hospital while 41-year-old Steven McDonald suffered serious but non-fatal injuries.
An on-duty police officer located the truck three miles away from the crash scene.
Police then conducted a traffic stop and arrested Thatcher.
It was unclear Tuesday if Thatcher has a lawyer yet.
