A 40-year-old Titusville man has been arrested in connection with a hit-and-run crash that left a juvenile with life-threatening injuries Wednesday night.

The crash occurred at approximately 8:30 p.m. on December 18 near the intersection of North Singleton Avenue and Wilderness Lane. Police said Santiago, driving a 2018 Nissan Altima, struck a juvenile riding a Coleman mini motorbike and fled the scene without stopping to render aid.

Joseph Domingo Santiago was taken into custody and faces multiple charges, including leaving the scene of a crash with serious bodily injuries, tampering with evidence, driving with a suspended license with knowledge, violation of probation, and resisting an officer without violence, according to the Titusville Police Department.

The injured juvenile was transported to a local hospital with critical injuries.

Investigators, following strong leads, identified and located the suspected vehicle, which was seized as evidence. Santiago was identified as the driver of the vehicle. Officers arrested him at his residence, and he was booked into the Brevard County Jail without bond.

The investigation remains active, and further details will be released as traffic crash investigators conclude their work, according to police spokesperson Amy Matthews.

Residents with additional information about the incident are urged to contact the Titusville Police Department.
