ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) - A 107-year-old woman has died after the vehicle she was riding in was struck by another vehicle in suburban Detroit.
The crash occurred Friday afternoon in Allen Park.
The driver of the second vehicle either walked or ran from the accident scene, but was later arrested, according to police.
Timothy Bieringer, 19, was charged with failing to stop at the scene of an accident resulting in serious impairment or death, the Wayne County prosecutor’s office said.
A photo taken by a bystander led police to Bieringer.
The victim was in a car being driven by her 78-year-old son. She was pronounced dead at a hospital.
The Detroit News earlier reported that the woman had been driving. Her name has not been released.
