A suspected hit-and-run driver is in custody following a three-vehicle accident in Ponchatoula that injured eight people, including three children.
Police responded around 6:30 p.m. Monday to the reported accident on Highway 51 at St. Patrick's Boulevard.
Investigators found that Anthony Conley was the driver of a truck involved in the crash, and not a passenger as he'd claimed.
Conley was arrested on Tuesday for felony hit-and-run, obstruction of justice, driving with a suspended license, and eight counts of negligent injuring.
