MOUTHCARD, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Pike County man was arrested after a single-vehicle crash in the Mouthcard community on Monday.
According to Kentucky State Police, troopers responded to a report of a crash on South River Road and found a vehicle occupied by four juvenile passengers.
Investigators say the driver, identified as 37-year-old Ryan Wilson, left the scene on foot after the crash, leaving the juveniles behind. One of the juveniles reportedly walked to a nearby business to request help and call 911.
Troopers later located Wilson about a mile and a half from the crash scene.
Wilson was arrested and lodged in the Pike County Detention Center. He is charged with first-degree wanton endangerment, leaving the scene of an accident, operating a motor vehicle under the influence, endangering the welfare of a minor and failure to possess a driver's license.
The investigation remains ongoing.
