Florida woman charged in hit and run that left Ontario man in hospital

Police in Miami, Fla., say a woman has been arrested in connection with a hit-and-run incident that left a 23-year-old Canadian tourist in critical condition.

Miami-Dade police detective Daniel Ferrin says a 26-year-old woman turned herself in Monday, accompanied by her lawyer.

Police said Alexander Sanghwan – listed as being from Ontario – was walking on the edge of a road around 5:30 a.m. Sunday when he was struck by a vehicle, which then fled the scene.

Ferrin says Olivia Bennett, of Miami Beach, Fla., is charged with two felonies – leaving the scene of a crash with serious bodily injury and reckless driving with serious bodily injury.

He says Bennett has been released on a bond.

Sanghwan, who suffered multiple injuries, remains in critical condition.

His family members have told local media that he was visiting Florida to attend the 2015 Ultra Music Festival in downtown Miami.
