Richmond
Police Department Hit and Run investigators have arrested the suspect in a hit
and run incident that injured a highway worker last year.
Travis
E. Drennan, 35, of the 12000
block of Bellaverde Circle, Chesterfield, was taken into custody earlier
today. He has been charged with Felony Hit and Run and Reckless
Driving.
At
approximately 12:47 a.m. on October 26, 2018, Richmond Police responded to a call for an accident on the
Powhite Parkway (Southbound) just after the toll booth plaza.
When
officers arrived, they found a highway worker in the roadway who had been
struck by a vehicle while working. The adult male victim was taken to a
local hospital with multiple, but non-life threatening, injuries.
Detectives
determined Drennan was operating the striking vehicle, which fled the scene
southbound towards Chesterfield County.
They
want to remind citizens of Virginia’s Slow Down/Move Over Law, which
requires drivers to give safe clearance to first responders and crews working
along a roadway.
Anyone
with further information is asked to call Hit and Run Investigator J.
Deboard at (804) 646-1709.
Travis E. Drennan
