A man is accused of hitting other vehicles after fleeing a crash in Louisville’s Clifton neighborhood, where children were reportedly nearby, according to Louisville Metro Police.
Joseph Diekmann, 26, of Kalamazoo, Michigan, was arrested November 7 and charged with leaving the scene of an accident, failing to render aid and second-degree wanton endangerment, according to court records.
The crash happened around 5:50 p.m. near 224 Pope Street, according to an arrest citation. A person involved in the collision told police Diekmann sped away and that they heard him hit other vehicles.
Police said they were told children were in the area at the time. No one involved in the collision requested medical attention.
A dog in Diekmann’s vehicle was taken to Louisville Metro Animal Services, according to police.
Diekmann pleaded not guilty at his November 9 arraignment. A pretrial conference is scheduled for November 17.
