State Troopers say a man suspected of being involved in a hit-and-run accident involving a Milton police cruiser has turned himself in.

Twenty-five-year-old Jeffrey Yaratch of North Jackson surrendered on Monday. He's been charged with failing to keep an assured clear distance and leaving the scene of an accident.

The accident happened shortly before 9 p.m. Sunday on Mahoning Avenue, just east of Bailey Road in Jackson Township.

Investigators say a Milton police cruiser, being drive by officer Samuel A. Getz Jr., was traveling westbound when the cruiser was struck from behind by a sedan driven by Yaratch. The cruiser swerved and struck another vehicle in the left rear tire.

Police say Yaratch fled from the scene on foot, leaving the 1995 Crown Victoria behind.

The other vehicle was being driven by 57-year-old Lloyd Courtney of Sebring, who was not injured.

Officer Getz was treated for minor injuries at Saint Elizabeth's in Austintown.
