A man is facing charges following a one-vehicle rollover accident in Princeton Friday afternoon, December 20.
Princeton Police Chief Chris King says that officers responded to a single-vehicle collision on Cadiz Street just after four and found a 2000 Dodge Durango on its top against a utility pole. He adds that the operator of the vehicle had fled the scene before officers arrived.
Chief King reports that the operator, Shawn P. Caraway, turned himself in at the police department on Wednesday. Caraway told officers that he lost control of the vehicle when his dog jumped into his lap as he was making a right turn onto Cadiz Street from Hopkinsville Street.
Caraway was then cited to appear in court on charges of driving on a DUI suspended license second offense, leaving the scene of an accident, and no insurance.
The Princeton Police Department was assisted at the scene by the Princeton Fire Department, Caldwell County EMS, and Princeton Electric Plant Board. Cadiz Street was closed for just over an hour as crews worked to clear the scene.
