March 22 — Police charged Cory F. McDonald, 24, of Slippery Rock Township in connection with a hit-and-run crash this month in Summit Township.
McDonald is accused of rear-ending another vehicle at Route 422 and Bonniebrook Road, and driving away. The other driver was able to get the license plate number of the defendant’s pickup truck, according to court documents.
Police eventually tracked the plate to McDonald. He later allegedly admitted to the wreck.
“He reported he did not stop,” documents said, “because he did not see damage to (the other vehicle) and did not think he needed to stop.”
McDonald is charged with hit-and-run, failing to stop and give information or render aid after an accident, driving a vehicle without insurance, driving at an unsafe speed, following too closely to another vehicle and careless driving.
