6:32 pm on 3 September 2008

A Cambridge man has been arrested following a hit-and-run crash in Hamilton on Sunday that left a woman seriously injured.

The 25-year-old woman had to be cut out of her car and is in a serious condition in Waikato Hospital.

Her four-year-old daughter, who was riding in a car seat, escaped with scratches and bruising following the collision with a four-wheel drive vehicle.

A 33-year-old self employed man came forward to police on Tuesday night and has been charged with failing to ascertain injury at a crash.

He is also charged with making a false complaint after originally telling police the vehicle had been stolen.

Police say further charges are likely.
