A Summerville hit-and-run investigation has led to the arrest of Charm Hedgecoth, 31, in connection with a crash that injured Ray Blount at the intersection of Commerce Street and East First Avenue.

The incident happened Friday, Jan. 9, at about 7:10 p.m. The report indicates Blount was in a marked crosswalk when a 2013 white GMC Terrain with an Alabama tag struck him as the vehicle was turning through the intersection. Blount was thrown onto the hood and up toward the top of the vehicle before landing in the roadway. The driver then left the scene.

Investigators later confirmed video evidence showing the vehicle leaving after the collision. The GMC Terrain was located and stopped on Jan. 12, and Hedgecoth was identified as the driver.

During a follow-up interview, Hedgecoth admitted being the driver and said she left because she did not feel safe. Hedgecoth reported that, after the crash, Blount became violent toward her, and she feared remaining at the scene. The report notes Hedgecoth also acknowledged she had a cell phone at the time but did not call 911 before leaving.

Hedgecoth is charged with hit-and-run leaving the scene of an accident, failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk, expired license, expired tag, and no insurance.
