Driver reporting stolen car allegedly involved in hit-and-run accident

AMMAN — A driver has admitted committing a hit-and-run accident in Zarqa and pretended his car was stolen to escape repercussions, the Public Security Department (PSD) said Sunday.

The driver reportedly filed a complaint to a north Amman security centre on Saturday night, alleging that his vehicle was stolen.

The initial probe of the case revealed that the suspect had been involved in a hit-and-run accident, as proved by camera footage and eyewitness testimonies, according to the PSD.

The suspect was charged with a hit-and-run crime as well as well as filing a false complaint.
