After striking the fence, he "went airborne and head-on into a tree," said Trooper Jason Williams of the patrol's Dayton Post. Collins, who was not wearing a seatbelt, then ran away from the crash scene, Williams said.
Collins was caught later and has been summoned into court. He faces charges including failing to stay at the scene of a crash. Willams said alcohol is a possible factor in the crash, which remains under investigation.
