HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) - A 21-year-old Long Island man has been arrested by Long Island homicide detectives in connection with a fatal hit-and-run crash in Hempstead.

Newsday reports (https://nwsdy.li/2ifpBSw ) Christopher Ebron was charged Tuesday with leaving the scene of a fatal car accident earlier in the day and is now being held in lieu of bail.

Nassau County police say Ebron was driving a Mercedes-Benz north on North Franklin Avenue when he struck the unidentified female victim as she was crossing the street. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
