Carson City deputies, NHP respond to hit and run on Highway 50
Carson City deputies responded to a hit and run earlier tonight, in which a black BMW X5 was rear-ended, with the driver allegedly speeding away after her airbag deployed.
The suspect apparently hit the BMW near Fairview and Carson Street at about 6:30, and then drove away, darting in and out of traffic.
Two witnesses, each driving separate vehicles, followed the suspect, who was driving a white sedan. The witnesses followed the sedan from Fairview down Saliman to Highway 50, alerting dispatchers of the accident.
Deputies and the Nevada Highway Patrol pulled over the suspect, a barefoot woman who appeared to be in her early 20s, at the 1900 block of Highway 50.
The suspect's sedan sustained damage to the front end with the airbag apparently deployed. The suspect was questioned by authorities and given a roadside sobriety test at the scene. The victim of the hit and run was not seriously injured.
