Columbus police arrested a driver after a hit and run accident Saturday afternoon injured three people.

19-year-old Elijah J. Phillips of Elizabethtown is being accused of leaving the scene of an accident and was also cited for driving while suspended and not having insurance.

Lt. Matt Harris, with the Columbus police, says the accident happened at about 5 when Phillips allegedly rear-ended another vehicle in the 1200 block of North U.S. 31. He then spun his vehicle’s tires and took off, police say. When officers stopped him on 10th Street and U.S. 31, his vehicle’s bumper was dragging the ground and nearly ready to fall off, Harris says.

The three victims suffered minor injuries, Harris says.
