A teenager is facing charges after allegedly being involved in a hit-and-run accident over the weekend in the city of Ithaca.
The accident happened at around six on Saturday morning on East Seneca Street. The car was located a short time later in a nearby parking lot but the driver fled recklessly and at a high rate of speed. Police say the driver, who has not been identified, returned to the accident location a short time later and resisted arrest. After calming the teen down and taking them into custody, police located bottles of alcohol, drug paraphernalia, and a loaded handgun magazine in the car. The teenager was also determined to be impaired and was taken into custody on undisclosed charges.
