Man Pays Price for Running

A 38-year old Burlington man may face charges, after police say he was involved in two accidents within a few minutes of each other, late yesterday(Thur) afternoon.

Jeremy Ruther was injured in the second collision…in the 3000 block of Mason Road. He and the other driver, 43-year old Melinda Clark of Burlington, were both taken to Great River Medical Center.

City police say two or three minutes earlier, Ruther’s Buick was apparently involved in a hit & run at the corner of West and Garfield Streets. That remains under investigation.
