A man has been arrested in connection with a hit-and-run in Madison County that sent another person to the hospital.
According to state police, 35-year-old Joseph N. Jenkins was arrested Friday after a pursuit was initiated by a Waynesboro police officer. The high-speed pursuit continued in Rockingham County, where his vehicle was disabled by the Rockingham County Sheriff’s office. Jenkins is facing felony charges including eluding of law enforcement and possession of stolen property.
Sergeant Brent Coffey said that a Chevrolet Silverado and a Subaru S-U-V collided along the 56-hundred block of Seminole Trail southbound just before 10 o’clock Thursday morning. Following the crash, he says the driver of the Chevy, allegedly Jenkins, fled the scene on foot.
The driver of the Subaru was taken to U-V-A Medical Center with injuries.
