VIRGINIA BEACH
A Beach man was in jail Friday, charged with DUI and felony hit-and-run after a crash in which his girlfriend was left trapped in waist-deep water, police said.
Police said Michael Brandon Walck, 23, lost control and ran into a ditch on Sandbridge Road early Friday morning.
His girlfriend told police that he was drinking and ran from the scene, according to Adam Bernstein, a police spokesman.
It took about an hour to remove her from the wreckage, Bernstein said. She was flown to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital with a leg injury, he said.
Officers found and arrested Walck. He was being held without bond in the Virginia Beach jail.
