A suspect was arrested Wednesday in an incident that left a 19-year-old Acworth woman critically injured.
Dalton Mason, 19, was arrested at his home in Acworth and charged with serious injury by vehicle, failure to stop at a stop sign and failure to yield to a pedestrian, said Lt. Howard Baker of the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office. Mason is being held in the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center on $920 bond.
The victim, Negin Efani, 19, remained in critical condition with a head injury Wednesday at Kennestone Hospital, Baker said.
Efani was in a crosswalk when Mason, driving a truck, turned off Wabash Trail onto Highway 92 just before 8 a.m. Tuesday, according to the preliminary investigation.
A previous version of this story incorrectly referred to the incident as a hit and run. The driver of the truck did not leave the scene.
