A driver doing an illegal U-turn hit a light-rail train Wednesday morning and fled the scene, Tempe police said.
Shaurice Mayhew, 20, was making the turn on the 1800 block of East Apache Boulevard around 10:45 a.m. when she collided with the train, police said. There are signs prohibiting U-turns posted in the area.
Mayhew left the scene, officials said, but she was pulled over by two DPS officers who were nearby.
Mayhew was booked into jail on charges of failing to remain at the scene of the collision and driving on a suspended license, authorities said. She also received a citation for failing to obey a traffic control device.
There were no injuries, and little damage was done to either the train or Mayhew’s car, which was impounded.
