An 18-year-old McDonough motorist has been charged in a hit-and-run accident that seriously injured a woman jogging along a Henry County road earlier this month, authorities said Wednesday.
An investigation led police to identify a suspect, and Kyle Andrew Harvey surrendered to authorities at the Henry County jail, according to a news release from the Henry County Police Department.
Harvey has been charged with aggravated assault with a vehicle and hit-and-run with serious injury, police said.
Police had issued at an alert for a green Jeep Cherokee that struck the woman shortly before 2 p.m. May 1 along the side of Airline Road in north Henry County near the Rockdale County line.
The vehicle fled the scene, and the victim was flown by Air Ambulance to the Atlanta Medical Center. She underwent surgery for a broken hip and broken leg and has since been released from the hospital, police said.
