A 67-year-old Hoschton man is facing DUI, hit-and-run and other charges following a Sunday night accident in South Hall, according to a report released Tuesday by the state patrol.
Troopers say it happened about 7:30 on Friendship Road when a van driven by Philip Hampton struck the side of another vehicle as Hampton was attempting to change lanes. After the accident, Hampton left the scene, the report says but was found a short time later in a Kroger parking on the corner of Friendship Road and Spout Springs Road.
He was placed under arrest for DUI, Hit and Run, and various other traffic offenses. No injuries were reported.
