A Chicopee driver seriously injured a Springfield boy on a bicycle then fled the scene of the accident early this morning, police said.
Police arrested Luke Delaney, 29, at a home on Gelinas Drive in Chicopee after using "information gathered at the scene," State Police Sergeant Michael Popovics said.
Police responded to a call for a struck bicyclist at 12:21 a.m. on the Chestnut Street onramp to Route 291 East in Springfield. The boy was taken to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Popovics said.
Popovics did not know why the boy was riding on the onramp or whether he was wearing a helmet. Police did not release the boy's age.
Delaney, who was driving a red 1997 Honda Accord, was charged with leaving the scene of a personal injury crash. He is to be arraigned Monday morning.
