A Louisville Metro police school crossing guard is hospitalized and a person has been arrested after the guard was struck by a vehicle that fled the scene Wednesday morning.
Delane Rowe, 44, is charged with leaving the scene of an accident, assault, and disregarding traffic control.
Louisville Metro Police officers that were called to Cane Run Road and Bridwell Drive around 9:20 a.m. found a female school crossing guard with injuries. The guard was taken to UofL Hospital with injuries that appear to be serious, but not-life threatening.
Witnesses told police the vehicle that hit the guard failed to stop.
After information about the vehicle was radioed to other units, an officer spotted the vehicle on I-64 near the 22-mile marker, approximately three miles past the Gene Snyder Freeway (I-265).
The vehicle was stopped and Rowe was taken into custody.
Rowe was being booked into Louisville Metro Corrections and is expected to be arraigned Thursday morning.
