GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — The Kent County Prosecutor's Office authorized charges against Jason Steven McCann, 44, for allegedly hitting and killing a Grand Rapids couple.
McCann is charged with two counts failing to stop at the scene of an accident, when at fault, causing death, and two counts of reckless driving causing death. Both carry a maximum penalty of 15 years.
Todd Fuhr and Tracy Curtiss Fuhr were killed after being hit by a car Saturday night.
The Grand Rapids Police Department said the couple were in a crosswalk at the intersection of Oakes Street SW and Grandville Avenue SW when they were hit by the car around 11:13 p.m.
The driver fled the scene, but a tip led to McCann's arrest.
McCann has a history of driving while under the influence. In 2004, he was charged with operating while impaired by liquor in Holland, according to state records. Then, in 2016, McCann was arrested and charged for operating while intoxicated in Hudsonville.
McCann was arrested Sunday morning after police received a tip that led them to the vehicle.
Anyone with more information on the crash should call GRPD or Silent Observer.
