On June 10, 2020, at approximately 4:43 AM, the Madison Police Department received a call of an injury accident southbound on Highway 51 at its intersection with Hoy Road. Police officers and Madison Fire/Rescue personnel were dispatched to the scene.
While proceeding to the location officers received information that one of the drivers had fled the scene in his vehicle. Officers were able to quickly locate and stop this vehicle on Madison Parkway and detain the driver. Probable cause was also developed that indicated the driver that fled was impaired.
