Macon, GA – A Macon driver was taken to jail Monday after allegedly fleeing the scene of a crash on Edna Place and leading law enforcement on a brief pursuit, according to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office.
According to a report from the sheriff’s office, the male driver of a Ford F-150 allegedly slammed into the rear of another truck that had stopped to allow a U.S. Marshal to exit a crime scene and re-enter the roadway. Authorities say the crash occurred in the Edna Place area, a residential street in Macon within Bibb County.
Instead of remaining at the scene, investigators say the driver of the Ford left the area, prompting law enforcement to initiate a short pursuit. Deputies were able to quickly locate and take the suspect into custody without further incident.
Officials confirmed the driver was operating the vehicle on a suspended license at the time of the crash. Following his arrest, the man was transported to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office Law Enforcement Center, where he was escorted into the facility and booked.
No serious injuries were reported in connection with the crash, and authorities did not release the names of those involved as of Monday. The investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office reminded drivers that leaving the scene of an accident and driving on a suspended license can result in serious criminal charges, including jail time.
Anyone who witnessed the crash or has additional information is encouraged to contact local law enforcement.
