GAINESVILLE, Ga. - A Gainesville man accused of crashing his car into an apartment complex, seriously injuring a child and then fleeing the scene has been arrested.
Erickson Mondesir, 19, has been charged with hit and run and serious injury by motor vehicle after a crash at Lenox Park Apartments on Tuesday.
Police believe the crash was unintentional, but rather than rendering aid to the 8-year-old they say he hit, Mondesir ran away from the scene.
He was caught a short time later and taken to the Hall County Jail.
The child had to be airlifted to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
