The driver suspected of committing a hit-and-run acccident that left a local cyclist seriously injured in May turned herself into the New Canaan Police Tuesday evening. Margaret McDonald, 49, of South Salem, N.Y. heard of a warrant out for her arrest and reported to the New Canaan Police Station at about 5:45 p.m.
On May 21, McDonald was allegedly driving down Oenoke Ridge Road when police say she struck Thomas Scheuer, 82, while he was riding a bicycle on the side of the road. A passing jogger found Scheuer at about 10:30 that morning, unconscious on the side of the road. Scheuer was treated at Stamford Hospital for head, leg and internal injuries, but survived the collision.
McDonald was charged with evading responsibility with serious injury. She is currently being held pending a $5,000 bond, and is scheduled to appear in court Aug. 17.
