Rockledge, FL (March 28, 2019) - A hit-and-run in a local neighborhood left a plumber with serious injuries on Thursday, March 28th. Police say that the plumber arrived on Jamestown Drive before 8:00 a.m. to complete a job.
The plumber was hit by a vehicle driven by 42-year-old Mark Wells. Following the crash, he was left pinned between two vehicles. Wells fled the scene on foot before police could arrive. When rescue workers responded to the crash, they airlifted the injured victim a nearby hospital with serious injuries. Fortunately, he is expected to survive.
Authorities converged on the scene and apprehended Wells shortly after the collision. He was taken into custody in connection with the crash but there was no word on what specific charges he faces at this time.
