A 23-year-old woman is dead after a repeat offender allegedly struck her in a hit-and-run crash<\/a> in Charlotte, police said.<\/p>\n

Thomas Haynes, 46, was arrested on Monday and charged with second-degree murder, felony hit-and-run serious injury\/death, misdemeanor hit-and-run leave scene property damage, misdemeanor hit-and-run failure to stop property damage, and misdemeanor reckless driving to endanger.<\/p>\n

According to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, deputies arrived at an abandoned Honda Odyssey and a Kia Soul at an intersection on Thursday, March 12, in east Charlotte,<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The driver of the Honda, later identified as Haynes, allegedly walked away from the crash.<\/p>\n
