Man arrested, allegedly confesses to leaving scene of fatal crash that killed Plano woman, police say
A man was arrested after allegedly confessing to leaving the scene of a fatal crash that killed a woman early Saturday morning, the Richardson Police Department confirmed.
Richardson PD said at about 4:50 a.m., officers responded to a reported crash involving a motorcycle in the 2400 block of North Central Expressway. Officers identified the woman who was driving the motorcycle as 27-year-old Cody Morris, of Plano. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers said at that time, no other vehicles or people were located at the crash scene.
Less than an hour later, the Plano Police Department received a phone call from a man, identified as 25-year-old Kelvin Joseph Jr., of Allen, who said he'd been involved in the crash that killed Morris.
Richardson PD contacted Joseph and determined he was driving northbound on North Central Expressway in a BMW when he was involved in a crash with the motorcycle. Police said while speaking to Joseph, officers "observed signs of intoxication."
Joseph was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated and collision involving personal injury or death, police said. His bond information has not been released.
The Richardson Police Department's Special Crash Investigation Team is currently investigating the case. Anyone with information is asked to call the department at 972-744-4944.
