A Winder man is facing charges in a hit-and-run crash Sunday morning on Georgia 316 that left the driver of a Jeep Cherokee with serious injuries.
The Barrow County Sheriff's Office said 22-year-old Zantravious Shields turned himself in to authorities on Monday, Sept. 16 around 3:30 p.m.
Major Ryan Sears said Shields faces charges of felony hit and run, felony serious injury by vehicle, failure to report a crash with damage/injuries, following too closely and improper lane change.
