Virginia Beach hit and run driver charged in pedestrian death
Posted on Apr 30, 2009
A pedestrian is dead after being hit by a driver in an SUV who fled the scene of the accident. The victim, who died the morning after the crash in the hospital, was in his 50s. His name is being withheld pending notification of his family.
According to police the accident happened on Virginia Beach Boulevard Thursday night when the driver, Brandon Wayne Meck of Virginia Beach, 25, hit a pedestrian illegally crossing at North Great Neck Road.
A police officer waiting at a stop light witnessed the accident, and immediately stopped to render aid to the injured pedestrian. Another witness followed Meck’s SUV as it fled the scene, and reported his license plate number and direction to police. Meck was pulled over near Lynnhaven Parkway and arrested.
Meck faces charges of drunken driving and felony hit and run. He was found to have a blood alcohol content (BAC) higher than 0.20, which is more than twice the legal limit in Virginia (0.08).
The accident is still under investigation and police may file additional charges.
