According to police, Kevin and Denise Smith were engaged in a domestic dispute when Smith hopped into his 2002 Dodge Stratus and ran the woman down. He then fled the accident scene leaving the injured woman behind.
Investigators estimate that Smith was traveling 25 miles per hour when the impact occurred.
Police and emergency crews arrived on the scene and rushed the woman to Moses Cone Hospital where her condition is currently unknown.
Investigators caught up Kevin Smith a short while later as he was driving south on Summit Avenue. Police discovered him to be in possession of drugs, and found a $200 dent in the front of his car. The dent was later attributed to be the impact point at which the car struck the woman.
Smith was booked into jail on charges of felony hit and run, assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
