Police chase ends in hit and run accident
A hit and run accident in Waco, Texas, late Friday night left one dead and another in jail.
The victim was riding a bicycle on Irving Lee Street when a 1994 Caprice headed south on Frontage Road ran a stop sign, striking the cyclist.
According to police, the driver, 35-year-old Marcus Cain, had been involved in a police chase only moments before. The driver was stopped for speeding shortly after midnight. He fled police, but the pursuit was abandoned when Cain ran a red light at Valley Mills Drive.
Cain was located by K-9 officers in a ditch in a nearby neighborhood. He was charged with evading arrest causing a deadly accident, possession of marijuana and failure to stop. He is currently in jail on bonds totaling $33,500.
The victim, who has not been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene.
