Waco, TX : Man arrested after woman, 74, injured in crash on Wednesday afternoon, July 27, 2016

A 28-year-old man was arrested Wednesday afternoon, accused of fleeing the scene of an accident that seriously injured a 74-year-old woman earlier in the day, Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said.

Francisco Gonzales Jr. was arrested after police say he crossed the center line into a southbound lane on 19th Street as he drove north in a pickup. Gonzales collided with the woman driving south at about 7:30 a.m. near the intersection of 19th Street and Marshall Avenue, then fled from the crash, Swanton said.

Emergency responders extricated the woman from her vehicle then took her to Baylor Scott & White Hillcrest Medical Center with life-threatening injuries, Swanton said.

Police were able to locate Gonzales a short time after the crash. He was arrested on charges of failure to stop and render aid, intoxicated assault and driving with an invalid license.

He remained in jail Wednesday evening. No bond information was immediately available.
