The victimโlater identified as a 54-year-old man also from Greensboroโdied as a result of injuries suffered in the accident. Franklin Boulevard was closed for a time following the incident.
About the Investigation

The man was booked into Guilford County Jail, where he is being held against a $200,000 bond. Investigators say the suspect crashed his vehicle into the victim, left the scene, and then later returned.
Conflicting Accounts
In a related news item, family members of the suspect maintain he did not leave the scene of the accident.
