LAKEPORT, Calif. — A Lakeport man was arrested Sunday for a hit-and-run crash that injured a pedestrian.

Al James, 63, was arrested at about 10 a.m. Sunday, the Lakeport Police Department said.

Police officers were dispatched to the scene of a crash involving a vehicle and a pedestrian at a location on N. Main Street just before 6 p.m. Saturday evening.

The driver had fled the scene prior to the arrival of officers, authorities said.

The elderly female pedestrian, who was conscious and alert at the scene, was transported to Sutter Lakeside Hospital.

Police later reported that she was transported by air ambulance to an out-of-county hospital where she is recovering.

The only witnesses at the scene pointed law enforcement to a silver-colored larger SUV vehicle which was seen driving northbound on N. Main Street near the crash scene at the time of the collision.

On Sunday, police said they had apprehended James, originally a Texas resident.

He was booked into the Lake County Jail for felony hit-and-run, with bail set at $10,000.

Jail records indicated he was no longer in custody on Sunday night.
