I think it's also appropriate to comment on one of our local law enforcement agencies for resolving this issue quickly. I think it would be difficult to solve a hit n run accident, especially if that vehicle were from another state. Congrats go out to the local law enforcement agencies involved.

According to police, Ebony Knight was walking along State Road 25 near South Beck Lane around 8:30 p.m. on the south side of Lafayette when a dark-colored SUV hit her. The vehicle then sped off.
A police officer was looking along County Road 275 South for the suspected vehicle Monday when he saw Kirts' black Jeep Liberty. The vehicle had front end damage.
Kirts came outside to see what the officer was checking. He was then arrested.
Kirts is charged with leaving the scene of a fatal accident. His car is currently impounded.
