A man faces charges including DUI and leaving the scene of an accident after he allegedly caused a wreck and ran Sunday evening.

Police responded to the wreck at Cypress Street and Murphy Avenue about 9:30 p.m. Sunday where four people in a vehicle were complaining of pain after the collision. The occupants said the driver of a white Honda Civic, which was at the scene, had turned into their lane and struck their vehicle.

The driver of the vehicle, whom police identified as Rodolfo Zaniga Arana, 42, whose address was unavailable, allegedly got out, yelled at the occupants and then ran. While speaking with the injured occupants, a nearby resident came up to the officer and said an apparently intoxicated man was stumbling through her back yard.

Officers detained the suspect, identified as Arana, and said he appeared to be heavily intoxicated and wouldn’t cooperate to take a blood alcohol content breath test. Arana had apparently suffered cuts and bruises from the collision, an officer reported, so he was taken to West Georgia Medical Center for treatment and his blood was taken to be tested for drugs and alcohol.

After he was released from the hospital, Arana was arrested and taken to Troup County Jail on charges of DUI, failing to maintain lane, driving without a license and leaving the scene of an accident with injuries.
