Description A Republican legislator who represents part of central Virginia in the House of Delegates has been charged after state police say he struck and injured a pedestrian while driving an SUV and left the scene.

A Chevrolet Tahoe driven by Del. Matt Fariss was traveling through Campbell County on Thursday when it crossed the center line, continued off the road and struck a pedestrian, a Virginia State Police spokeswoman said Tuesday.

“The Tahoe then left the scene. The adult female pedestrian suffered minor injuries,” VSP spokeswoman Corinne Geller said in an emailed statement.

This is not the first time Fariss has gotten in trouble with a vehicle related incident btw. He also has a primary challenger this year so could make him much more vulnerable
