Also on Sunday, a 20-year old man was arrested for hit and run after an accident at the intersection of Hwy 16 and Hwy 49. According to the CHP, a 60-year old Placerville man was eastbound on Hwy 16 at a stated speed of 50 miles per hour when Gerardo Chavarin of Placerville turned left onto Hwy 49, directly in the path of the oncoming car. The Sacramento man swerved to avoid a collision but was unsuccessful -- he was ejected from his car and fortunately received only minor injuries. Chavarin fled the scene but was followed by a witness who flagged down CHP Officer Merrill, who stopped and arrested Chavarin.
