(Update: Suspect driver found, arrested)

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Bend police released a vehicle photo Tuesday and asked for the community’s help in finding a driver who allegedly left the scene of a crash involving a child on a bicycle earlier in the day. Just a few hours later, they announced a Bend man's arrest and thanked the public for its help.

"Thanks to assistance from the public, at approximately 5:55 p.m., Bend police were able to identify the suspect vehicle and the driver in this incident," Communications Manager Sheila Miller said.

She said the driver, 61-year-old Bend resident Tracy Michael Wood, was taken into custody at his home, and the vehicle was located nearby. 

Wood was taken to the Deschutes County Jail on suspicion of failure to perform the duties of a driver.  

Around 7:26 a.m., officers responded to a report of a vehicle-vs.-bike crash in the roundabout of of Brosterhous and Murphy roads, Miller said earlier.

Witnesses reported that a child was riding a bicycle in the roundabout crosswalk when a vehicle, likely a light blue or gray older-style Honda sedan, hit the bike's back tire.

The child fell off the bike and suffered minor injuries, Miller said, and was treated at the scene by Bend Fire medics.

Witnesses told officers the driver briefly stopped, then sped away from the crash scene. 

"Leaving the scene of a motor vehicle crash is a crime.," Miller said in a news release accompanied by a photo of the suspect vehicle.
