SAN MARCOS, Calif. — San Diego County Sheriff's deputies have arrested a man suspected of fleeing the scene of a hit-and-run crash in San Marcos that seriously injured a teenager riding an e-bike.
Authorities arrested Alan Reyes, 23, on Monday after he surrendered to officers at San Marcos Sheriff’s Station. Reyes was transported to Vista Dentention Facility and faces felony hit and run and reckless driving charges.
