ANTIGUA – Canadian student in hit-and-run accident

A 24-year-old driver who admitted he fled the scene of a near-fatal hit-and-run is likely to be charged with leaving the scene of a traffic collision, failing to report a traffic accident within 24 hours and careless or dangerous driving.

The Canadian resident, who is a medical student, turned himself in to police on Monday where he was questioned and released.

Police say that the investigation is still active and charges will likely to be brought against the Ontario resident by Thursday.

Garvin Crump, of Upper Gambles, was found unconscious on the side of the road in Coolidge by the police at around 4 a.m. on Sunday.

He remains in the Intensive Care Unit.

Doctors have indicated that his injuries could take weeks to heal and additional surgeries may be required.
