Teenager arrested after hit-and-run involving pedestrian, Ypsilanti police say
By Lee Higgins
A 16-year-old boy was arrested Tuesday night after Ypsilanti police say he struck a pedestrian with a car in the 500 block of East Michigan Avenue and left the scene.
The 53-year-old victim suffered minor injuries, Sgt. Eddie Davis said.
Officers caught up with the teen's Cadillac on North Prospect Street after the 6:50 p.m. accident and detained him before releasing him to a parent, Davis said.
"He didn't think that he had struck the person," Davis said.
The boy had a passenger in his car at the time of the accident, Davis said.
Charges of hit and run are pending.

How can one hit somebody or something and not know it? How long has this young man been driving?
