The driver fled the scene, and officers unsuccessfully searched with the help of a police K-9, the Monroe Courier said. Police are applying for an arrest warrant the case.

At 2 a.m. Oct. 14, police arrested Maria Ramirez, 26, of West Haven, who left the scene of a one-vehicle accident on Route 34, police told the Monroe Courier.
