SEATTLE — King County prosecutors have charged a 21-year-old Lynnwood man with vehicular homicide, felony hit and run and reckless driving in a weekend crash in Redmond that killed a 30-year-old man.

KING-TV reported that Robert Malsch is accused of being under the influence of alcohol and driving fast when prosecutors say his car slammed into another vehicle stopped at a red light early Saturday. The car that was hit then crashed into a cement sign.

Prosecutors said Malsch ran from the scene. Police said he was tracked down by a police dog.

Bail remains at $100,000 with arraignment scheduled March 18.
