Camaro driver turns himself in to Kennewick police a day after hit-and-run with motorcycle

A 19-year-old man is in jail after allegedly hitting a motorcycle rider Tuesday night and driving away.

A 19-year-old Kennewick woman was stopped at a red light in an eastbound lane of 27th Avenue at the intersection with Quillan Street when an older Chevy Camaro rear-ended her at 9:20 p.m., Sgt. Aaron Clem said. The driver, Kyle Moseley, then pulled around her and drove away from the scene, police said.

The woman was treated at Trios Southridge Hospital for non-life threatening injuries to her back.

A witness followed the Camaro from the scene and was able to point it out to police at the corner of South Conway Street and Buntin Loop, but the driver was gone.

Officers identified Moseley as the driver, and after searching for him this afternoon, he turned himself in. He was booked into the Benton County jail on suspicion of felony hit-and-run as well as two outstanding arrest warrants.

This is the latest of an increasing amount of hit-and-run crashes this year.

Investigators are asking anyone with information to contact police through non-emergency dispatch at 509-628-0333.
