Eugene, OR – Eugene Police have charged a 24-year-old man in connection with a hit and run pedestrian crash that occurred on January 21, 2025, at the intersection of E. 8th Avenue and Pearl Street.
The suspect, Daquan Gabari Rucker, was arrested at Lane County Jail on an unrelated case and faces charges of felony hit and run and reckless driving.
