MIDVALE — One person is in custody following an apparent hit-and-run incident Saturday, resulting in one vehicle hitting a Midvale building.

Unified police say the driver turned north into a southbound lane, swerved out of the lane and jumped the median, striking another vehicle, which was pushed into the Fiuza Motors Service Center, at 7165 S. 900 East.

The driver of the first vehicle allegedly ran away, but was arrested not too far from the scene, according to police.

Police said the first driver suffered only minor injuries. No other injuries were reported.
