Members of the Delaware State Police say they have charged Justin J. Trice, 26 of Easton, Maryland, with Leaving the Scene of a Collision Resulting in Injury, Inattentive Driving-Causing Serious Physical Injury, and Failure to Report a Collision Resulting in Injury in connection to an October 15th hit and run that injured a 17-year-old boy.

Troopers say Trice turned himself in to Troop 7 on Tuesday. Trice was reportedly arraigned and released on his own recognizance.
