A driver has been arrested in connection with a hit and run accident in Fallbrook early Friday morning.
At approximately 12:45 a.m. Friday, an SUV and sedan collided head-on on Gird Road just East of State Route 76, the California Highway Patrol said. One person was taken to Palomar Hospital and the driver of the other car ran from the scene.
Multiple agencies helped the CHP look for the suspect, including a helicopter and a K9 unit.
Officers went to look at a home in the Murrietta area around 3 a.m. and detained a person shortly after in connection with the hit-and-run.
That person is in custody at the Vista jail. The driver has been arrested on suspicion of DUI and hit and run.
The accident is under investigation, the CHP said.
