A man who apparently was driving a car northbound on West End Avenue ran from the scene after the collision. Police officers found him a short distance away on Beverly Place, near the Binghamton-Johnson City border.

The man, who sustained a head laceration, was placed in handcuffs. Johnson City fire department medics provided initial treatment before he was transported to a hospital by a Union Volunteer Emergency Squad ambulance.
