Authorities say two people accused of striking and killing another motorist as they raced down an Owosso street have now been charged.
Owosso City Police Chief Michael Compeau said 19-year-old Kevin Hart and 20-year-old Charles Mitts were in pick-up trucks and were allegedly drag racing north down North Shiawassee Street on Thursday around 12:15 p.m. when they struck a southbound Chevrolet Cobalt.
The victim killed in the Cobalt was 55-year-old Darrell Hall, of Owosso. Hall lived just a few blocks from the crash scene. Hall's son Dustin tells TV5 that his father was making a quick stop at the grocery store before Thanksgiving Dinner.
Authorities said Charles Mitts fled the scene in his white Checy S-10, but was later found by police and arrested.
