The male suspect, whose name was not released Saturday, was taken in to custody.

Provo police said it first received a report of a hit-and-run crash at the 500 N. and 500 West intersection in Provo at 3:07 p.m. The reporting driver followed the suspected vehicle, a white Volkswagen Passat, until it stopped in a church parking lot near 700 N. and 100 West, police said.

“A responding patrol officer located the suspect vehicle in the parking lot, and approached on foot,” a news release said. “During the interaction, the male driver of the vehicle did not comply with the officer’s commands to exit the vehicle. As the officer reached into the vehicle in an attempt to take the suspect driver into custody, the male drove off, causing the officer to roll away from the vehicle.”

The suspect exited the parking lot and fled southbound on 100 West, before colliding head on with the elderly woman’s blue Fiat 500 near 400 North, police said. The man fled the scene by foot, but was detained by a citizen and shortly placed into custody by police.

Alcohol use is suspected, and the incident is being investigated as a DUI, police said. The woman was taken to Utah Valley Hospital.
