The North Charleston Police Department (NCPD) arrested one suspect for fleeing from a collision at the intersection of Dorchester Rd & Apartment Blvd yesterday afternoon. 

North Evening Shift officers responded to the intersection of Dorchester Rd & Apartment Blvd for a collision with injuries reported. While officers were headed to the location, dispatch advised that one vehicle fled the collision. A direction of travel was obtained and an officer located the suspect vehicle on Cross County Rd. A traffic stop was attempted but the vehicle failed to yield, resulting in a brief pursuit until heavy gridlocked traffic forced the vehicle to stop at the intersection with Ashley Phosphate Rd. The vehicle driver was taken into custody without further incident.

18-year-old Fernando Alvarez Rosales of Leesville was arrested and charged with Failure to Stop for Blue Lights & Siren, Leaving the Scene of an Accident Involving Injuries, and for Leaving the Scene of an Accident with Property Damage.

Alvarez Rosales was then lodged at the Al Cannon Detention Center.
