AMMAN — Security personnel apprehended a suspect in a fatal hit-and-run accident the Public Security Department’s (PSD) media centre said Monday.
Central Amman PSD on Saturday dawn received a phone call reporting the incident, with traffic and criminal investigation teams interviewing witnesses and viewing camera recordings at the site to identify the vehicle, according to a PSD statement.
Coordination between criminal investigation departments in the capital and the northern region resulted in finding the vehicle in western Irbid and arresting its driver, the PSD said.
The suspect said he had a dispute with a client over the fare and hit him deliberately before fleeing the scene.
The suspect and evidence were referred to the prosecutor general, added the PSD statement.
