The crash could have ended up worse for all involved because a gas meter was struck. However, NIPSCO was able to turn the gas off.
The suspect was found near the 2600 block of Nappanee Street a while later and was arrested. She’s being charged by Elkhart police with criminal recklessness with a vehicle in addition to a hit-and-run.
An infant was inside the vehicle according to Claybaugh and a relative is coming to get the child.
