(KNZA)--A Manhattan man, charged in connection with a hit-and-run in April that left a Horton woman with severe injuries, will stand trial.
KMAN radio reports 21-year-old Nicholas Blaha was bound over Tuesday on a charge of aggravated battery along with an added charge of leaving the scene of an accident after testimony from about a dozen witnesses during his preliminary hearing.
Arraignment was set for November 27th in Riley County District Court.
21-year-old Amber Wilhelm was struck early April 14th at the intersection of 12th and Bluemont, in Manhattan.
Authorities say the Kansas State University student was stopped in a crosswalk, and was bent over, when she was struck by Blaha’s pickup truck that was westbound on Bluemont Avenue.
Blaha turned himself in to Riley County authorities in August on a warrant.
He is currently free on a $20,000 bond.
