• Anthony Conley, 68, was determined to be the driver and sole occupant of a 2015 Chevy Silverado after initially telling officers he was a passenger.
• He was arrested Tuesday morning on charges of hit and run, obstruction of justice, eight counts of negligent injuring, and operating a vehicle with a suspended license.
• The three-vehicle collision occurred around 6:27 p.m. Monday on Highway 51 North near St. Patrick's Boulevard and involved a 2014 GMC Terrain and a 2024 Hyundai Tucson in addition to the Silverado.
• Three children ages 2, 5, and 7 were airlifted to Our Lady of the Lake Children's Hospital, and other injured patients were transported to North Oaks Medical Center and Lakeview Hospital.
