MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The man charged in a deadly hit-and-run in Morgantown waived a preliminary hearing on a felony charge.
Alex Hambrick, 19, turned himself into Morgantown police facing 1 – 5 years in prison if convicted of a felony under Erin’s Law.
The law calls for a felony charge if a driver does not return to the scene of an accident where the victim dies.
Charleston native Carli Sears, 20, died from injuries she received from the impact on Stewart Street Sunday morning at 2:30 a.m.
Hambrick’s case will be bound over and sent to Circuit Court to await the next grand jury.
