FRUITA, Colo.- A driver flees the scene after an early morning car accident sends the passenger to the hospital.

The Colorado State Patrol says around 2:30 a.m. on Saturday a white Ford pickup F-250 allegedly ran through a stop sign on 17 1/3 and K 3/4 Road in Fruita.

The vehicle drove into a resident's lawn hitting a thick metal pole and rammed into three large rocks.

The driver of the truck left the passenger at the scene with moderate injuries.
