FAIRPLAIN TOWNSHIP, Mich. — After a hit-and-run in Montcalm County this Monday, troopers say they have found the driver and vehicle involved.

The driver is cooperating with the investigation, troopers added.

Michigan State Police (MSP) says the incident occurred before midnight near Brown and Fenwick roads in Fairplain Township.

We’re told a 44-year-old Sheridan man rode east on a moped when he was hit by a maroon sedan that was also driving east. The sedan reportedly took off after the crash.

The Sheridan man was hospitalized with critical injuries, according to MSP.

Authorities started seeking the vehicle, described as a maroon 2006–2013 Chevy Impala with possible damage to the front passenger side.

The crash is still under investigation. When finished, MSP says that the case will be forwarded to the prosecutor.

MSP thanks everyone who submitted tips in the matter.
