Hit and run driver charged with attempt to kill web posted April 7, 2009 EDGEFIELD – The driver arrested in a weekend hit and run early Saturday morning on Promised Land Road that left a pedestrian injured has been identified as Tonio Lydell Collins, 21, of Edgefield. Collins was arrested at his home shortly after the incident took place and was charged with assault and battery with intent to kill. The 25-year-old man Collins struck was complaining of back, neck, and leg pain while being immobilized on a backboard after being struck and found lying in the ditch. He was taken to the Edgefield County Hospital by ambulance and then flown to the MCG Trauma Center in Augusta. His injuries were not considered to be life threatening, though no update was available Monday. According to witnesses, Mr. Collins and the injured man were in a physical altercation at the Promised Land Road home when Collins got in his vehicle and left the scene, drove down the road and returned. Witnesses told deputies that is when Collins ran off the road in order to strike his victim and then fled the scene. Incident reports state deputies found tire tracks off the road and into a small ditch where the man was standing when he was struck. The tire tracks then return to the roadway and lead away. The tracks, incident reports state, matched those of the vehicle Collins was driving at the time. There was also mud found on the truck, a broken piece off the bumper, and “what appeared to be hand prints down the side of the vehicle.” Mr. Collins told deputies he was leaving the home and the victim jumped in front of his vehicle in an attempt to stop him and was struck. Collins was transported to the Edgefield County Detention Center and booked into custody. He was released later Saturday afternoon on a $50,000 surety bond. The case is still under investigation.
