PLEASANT HILL (CBS SF) -- A man was arrested in connection with a felony hit-and-run crash in Pleasant Hill on Wednesday night that left a driver injured and trapped inside an overturned car, police said Thursday.
Officers responded around 9:45 p.m. Wednesday to a crash in which a Subaru Outback overturned near the intersection of Paso Nogal Road and Norse Drive, police said.
Emergency responders arrived to find the Subaru's driver stuck inside the car. The driver was freed and taken to a hospital to be treated for cuts and possible internal injuries, police said.
