The two occupants of a vehicle involved in a property damage accident fled the scene on foot Saturday, according to a shift report from the Summit County Sheriff’s Office.
A complainant called deputies to report the accident on Hoytsville Road and the two fleeing occupants. When deputies arrived, they located one of the occupants, who appeared to be intoxicated.
However, no witnesses or evidence on scene proved that the occupant was actually the driver of the vehicle, even though the vehicle was registered to him.
