VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Police said Thursday that Nghiem Nguyen has been arrested and charged for a felony hit and run after that happened May 28.
The Virginia Beach Police Department said it got a call around 10:40 p.m. about a vehicle and a motorcycle that crashed in the 5000 block of Ferrell Parkway.
When officers arrived at the scene they found a man, the driver of the motorcycle lying on the roadway with serious injuries. He died there.
According to the police investigation, the motorcyclist was traveling east on Ferrell Parkway when a dark blue Toyota Tundra pick-up truck (with dark tinted windows), now known to be driven by Nguyen, was headed west on Indian River Road making a left-hand turn.
This was when the truck turned in front of the motorcycle. The bike ended up crashing into the left rear quarter panel of the pickup truck and the motorcyclist was thrown onto the street.
Police said the driver of the truck did not stop during the crash and sped off towards the interstate.
Investigators were asking for people to help them find the driver of the pickup truck. They said the truck will have serious damage on the left rear quarter panel area and a missing left rear brake light.
On June 2, the police department got a tip that the truck had been located in Binghamton NY. Officers were able to idnetify Nguyen and obtain a warrant.
He then turned himself in and is being held in the Virginia Beach City Jail.
