A suspect has been arrested for a hit-and-run earlier this month in North Austin that seriously inured a man in a powered wheelchair.

It happened Saturday, Sep. 3, in a parking lot at the 9200 block of North Lamar Boulevard, near the Rundberg Lane intersection.

The Austin Police Department says officers responded to the address at around 10 a.m. for a call about a pedestrian struck by a vehicle.

The pedestrian suffered from severe, life-threatening injuries. He was transported to a local hospital by EMS medics.

Surveillance video provided by APD shows the man was crossing the parking lot in his electric wheelchair when he noticed a vehicle driving recklessly. He signaled the driver to slow down -- but the truck drove over him.
