Newport News DUI Accident Injury Lawyer : Man Admits Hit and Run Crashes in Newport News and York County

A 20-year-old man has pleaded guilty to causing hit and run accidents in Newport News and York County, VA.

The Daily Press reported the driver admitted felony evade and elude, felony hit and run, misdemeanor hit and run and misdemeanor or DUI first offense.

The offenses took place in April 2012. The man admitted two hit and runs in Newport News in Newport News General District Court in June and to hit-and-run accidents in York County at a hearing in Poquoson in August, 2012.

As an experienced Newport News DUI accident injury attorney, I see far too many cases in which alcohol contributes to crashes. When a driver leaves the scene it makes a crash even more upsetting for those he has hit. The man hit two vehicles on I-64 in York County, according to reports.

Although the first collision did not cause injuries a second vehicle was forced off the road, leaving the female driver from Newport News with a broken sternum, bruised lungs, four broken ribs and a torn rotator cuff.

Virginia State Police pursued this driver. According to the Daily Press his pickup reached speeds of 100 mph on the Colonial Parkway near Yorktown which has a speed limit of 45 mph.

Recently I reported on a crash in which a 58-year-old woman suffered serious injuries when she was hit by a truck being pursued by police in Newport News, VA.
