A Republican legislator who represents part of central Virginia in the House of Delegates has been charged after state police say he struck and injured a pedestrian while driving an SUV and left the scene.
A Chevrolet Tahoe driven by Del. Matt Fariss was traveling through Campbell County on Thursday when it crossed the center line, continued off the road and struck a pedestrian, a Virginia State Police spokeswoman said Tuesday.
Fariss, 54, was identified as the driver after “further investigation,” and he turned himself in and met a trooper at a magistrate’s office Friday, Geller said.
