KANSAS CITY —A Kansas City man faces charges in connection with a fatal hit and run car crash that occurred earlier this year.
Calvin L. Boyles, 24, is charged with 1st Degree Involuntary Manslaughter, Leaving the Scene of an Accident, Driving While Revoked or Suspended, according to Jackson County Prosecutor Melesa Johnson.
According to court records, Kansas City police responded to the area of East 30th Street and Benton Boulevard on May 13, regarding a fatal hit and run crash. Officers observed an unoccupied gray Chevy with heavy passenger and front-end damage and a white mail vehicle on its driver’s side with heavy damage. Officers located the driver of the mail vehicle pinned under the vehicle and deceased from his injuries.
Based on surveillance video, detectives determined the mail vehicle was traveling southbound on Benton Boulevard with the right of way and collided with the westbound Chevy on East 30th Street, which failed to stop for a stop sign at Benton Boulevard. Boyles is captured on video running from the crash.
A Jackson County judge set the defendant’s bond to $75,000 cash.
