(CBS DETROIT) – A Michigan State Police canine team tracked a hit-and-run suspect through several miles of swamp and woods on Friday, state police said.
At 3:45 p.m. on Friday, May 3, troopers from the Cadillac Post responded to Kurick Road near Dzuibanek Road in Springdale Township after receiving a report of a crash involving a car and bicycle.
The bicyclist, a 73-year-old Thompsonville woman, was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
State police say the driver, a 35-year-old Benzonia woman, hit the bicyclist and then got out of her vehicle and left the area.
When troopers arrived, a 41-year-old Traverse City woman told them she was the driver, but she later admitted that she had been the passenger in the vehicle.
The driver had a warrant for her arrest and had left the scene, state police said.
