Deputies from the Stafford County Sheriff's Office were called to the intersection of Hollywood Farm Road and Fisher Lane late on Wednesday night, when a caller advised that there was a pick-up truck on its side, but no driver in sight.
However, investigators didn't have to work hard to identify a possible suspect.
While checking the scene of the crash, deputies found the driver's phone, which was conveniently still displaying directions to the truck owner's home.
Following that discovery, deputies responded to the residence, where they made contact with a family member who said that the suspect driver had just stopped by after the crash, but was no longer available.
According to a spokesperson for the agency, the driver's phone is being held at the sheriff's office, and they are free to pick it up in exchange for taking a hit-and-run charge.
