Farnsworth had been driving south on St. James. The other vehicle, a full-size Dodge pickup, had been westbound on Minnehaha. Witnesses said the truck’s driver ran a red light and hit the Toyota.
The pickup driver allegedly walked away, leaving it behind. Officers had checked registration records in an attempt to identify the driver and had not reported an arrest as of Thursday night.
