A man has been arrested following a hit-and-run crash that left a motorcyclist nursing life-threatening injuries.

He is 24-year-old Cody Dale Caudill. In cases like this, the victim’s family often seeks representation from a top accident lawyer in Texas.

The crash took place on April 25 around 10 p.m.

El Paso County Sheriff’s Office representatives said a 35-year-old man was riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle in the 12900 block of Montana Avenue.

Officials said Caudill was speeding in a Ford Mustang and he rear-ended the motorcycle.

Officials said he then fled the scene, but deputies were able to locate him and his car.

The motorcyclist, whose name has not been released, received serious injuries and he was taken to a hospital. Officials said he remained in critical condition on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Caudill was arrested on suspicion of accident involving serious bodily injury. 

He was booked into the El Paso County Jail on a $50,000 bond and he remained in jail on Tuesday afternoon.

It is a crime to leave the scene of an accident. However, statistics show that around 11 percent of all collisions involve a hit-and-run driver.

Motorists leave the scene for a variety of reasons. Some don’t have a license, others are intoxicated, and some are afraid they’ll be arrested.

Updates will be provided on this case as they come to hand.

Since civil wrongful death lawsuits are different from criminal charges, the victim’s survivors can take legal action regardless of the outcome. A top accident lawyer can provide the advice and representation they need to seek compensation for their losses.
