VISALIA, Calif. (KMJ/KFSN) — Police have a suspect in custody in connection to a deadly hit-and-run crash in Visalia.

Authorities then identified the driver as 33-year-old James Hand and arrested him Tuesday in Visalia. 

Police previously released video they say shows a white Ford F-150 involved in the crash Saturday night on Akers near Judy.
