A 24-year-old woman was arrested in a hit-and-run crash that injured a motorcyclist earlier this week, according to the West Melbourne Police Department.
The crash happened early Sunday on US-192 near Dairy Road.
According to police, Rebekah Makenzie Tate was heading east on US-192 when she struck the motorcyclist and drove off.
“Instead of remaining on scene or calling 911, Tate can be seen driving away with the motorcycle still attached to the front of her vehicle. Tate then pulled her vehicle into the parking lot of a local business in an attempt to hide. At one point, Tate attempted to remove the motorcycle from underneath her vehicle,” a release said.
The department said Tate was seen talking on her phone before being picked up by a black sedan.
The man, a 34-year-old from West Melbourne, was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Tate is currently being held on no bond in the Brevard County jail.
