A Woodbury man is facing a felony charge in connection with a hit-and-run incident involving a pedestrian. Donald Wayne Calvin, 75, was charged with criminal vehicular operation after allegedly striking a 94-year-old man on East Chestnut Street in Lake City on August 3. The victim suffered significant injuries, including broken bones in his upper arm, lower leg, and face.
Witnesses reported seeing a gold, box-style van fail to stop at an intersection and strike the elderly man, who was in the roadway with his walker. The witnesses stated the van slowed and then fled the scene. Calvin, whose vehicle matched the description, initially denied seeing anyone or striking a person.
However, the following day, Calvin contacted police, expressing uncertainty about whether he had hit anyone. He stated that if he had, he did not feel it and was unaware at the time. Calvin's court appearance is scheduled for October 7.
