Leaving the scene of an accident after you hand your driver's license over to a Sheriff's deputy isn't exactly the smartest thing to do.

Running away from an accident scene after giving your license to police officers makes it pretty easy for them to find you. But that's just what authorities say a Loudoun County man did.

According to the sheriff's office, Richard Dumm was driving on Route Seven in Ashburn on Christmas night when his pickup rear-ended a Mazda stuck in the right lane with a flat tire. Of the four people in the Mazda, two were seriously hurt, while two others were treated and released.

But while firefighters and deputies were helping the injured, authorities say Dumm walked away. Of course, having his license, deputies knew where to find him. He was arrested at his home early yesterday on a charge of felony hit and run.
