The driver who fled from the hit-and-run Sunday has been found by Bloomington police. The driver, Frelimo Kweheria, was charged with leaving the scene and reckless driving.
After the accident, Kweheria and his passenger abandoned his car and left the scene on foot.
Kweheria, 22, managed to flee to Fort Wayne, Indiana, though police are unsure how he traveled that far as he left his car at the crime scene, Bloomington Police Department Lt. Brad Seifer said. The passenger who was reportedly with him has yet to be found.
Detectives went to his apartment at Acadia Court after the accident Sunday but discovered he had already left. According to police reports he was staying at his mother’s house in Fort Wayne.
BPD received a call by Kweheria telling them where he was after he found out the police were looking for him. He has since refused to speak and has requested a lawyer.
Kweheria came away from the car accident with a sprained wrist but no other injuries.
