A witness helped Phoenix police track down a driver accused of hitting a woman and taking off in West Phoenix. Police say Yamin Nameye, 34, ran a red light near Camelback Road and 43rd Avenue and struck a woman who was crossing with the walk signal around 2 a.m. on August 2. She was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. Instead of letting the driver disappear, another motorist called 911, followed the vehicle and gave dispatchers its license plate number. Detectives used that information to identify a suspect and arrested Nameye two days later. Investigators also said debris recovered from the crash scene matched his Kia Sedona. Nameye was booked on one count of felony hit-and-run and a misdemeanor charge related to causing an accident resulting in injury. His bond was initially set at $150,000. That witness giving police the plate may have completely changed this investigation. Would you have followed the car too? 👀 #Phoenix #Arizona #WestPhoenix #HitAndRun #A...
