"The fact that he took off, i couldn't understand. From one soldier to the next, even if we weren't involved in the accident we would pull over to provide aid, not leave our brother or sister."
The Muscogee County Jail confirms a Fort Benning soldier is out on bond after being arrested for fleeing the scene of an accident that police say he is responsible for. 24-year-old Andrew Kelly of the Army's 3rd Brigade is facing multiple charges after a Monday afternoon incident.

Reports show that Kelly was driving east-bound on Manchester Expressway when he made a sudden lane change to avoid the car in front of him, in turn, smashing into the side of Army Veteran Ingar Parker’s Ford Explorer. She explains, "and then I was hit. And when I was hit I was startled, I didn't know what to do. I think I freaked out and I was screaming and I was hurt and I just didn't understand it."

Parker says that immediately after the collision she jumped out of the car to talk to Kelly and ensure he was okay.
