Jacob Giere, 34, of Maria Stein, is facing one count of failure to stop after an accident in Darke County Common Pleas Court.
At 8:52 p.m. Sunday, Darke County sheriff’s deputies responded to the 13700 block of Yorkshire Osgood Road for a report of a person lying in the road.
Deputies arrived and found a woman, later identified as Leonard, in the road.
A preliminary investigation determined Giere was driving a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado north on Yorkshire Osgood Road when the truck hit Leonard, the sheriff’s office said.
Giere reportedly did not stop.
Deputies later found him and took him into custody. He was released on bond Wednesday, according to court records.
The Osgood Fire, Osgood Rescue and the Darke County Coroner’s Office assisted deputies.
The crash remains under investigation.
