(CHAFFEE COUNTY, Colo) — According to the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO), deputies arrested a driver after he allegedly hit a vehicle, drove off, ran into the woods, and was found hiding under a bed in a cabin.

CCSO said on Wednesday, Oct. 8, at around 7 p.m., deputies responded to a report of a two-vehicle crash on Poncha Pass, located on Highway 285, south of Poncha Springs.
