VIDALIA &8212; A Vidalia man was charged with three felonies following a car accident that injured four people Saturday night.

According to the Vidalia Police Department report, Michael R. Sugg, 45, 133 Lee Ave., faces five charges, of which three are felonies.

Sugg is charged with driving while intoxicated (felony), a hit and run (felony), vehicular negligence causing injuries (felony), reckless operation of a vehicle and an open container violation.

Lt. Arthur Lewis said the accident occurred at 7:15 p.m., when witnesses said Sugg was heading eastbound on U.S. 84, toward Natchez at a high speed and weaving in and out of traffic, using the shoulder.

Lewis said Sugg was driving a burgundy colored GMC truck.

&8220;As he attempted to weave back into traffic he hit a red Jeep Grand Cherokee carrying four passengers,&8221; Lewis said.

Lewis said the Jeep went across the median, across the westbound lane and landed in a ditch in front of the new Wal-Mart.

Lewis said while the Jeep was traveling into the westbound lane it was spinning and hit a water hydrant, filling the ditch with water.

&8220;Passers-by assisted the victims, but we&8217;re still not sure if anyone was ejected.&8221;

Lewis said the four victims were transported by an ambulance to Natchez Regional, but he did not know their condition.

He said Sugg left the scene in his vehicle.

Lewis said he radioed the information on Sugg&8217;s vehicle and Sgt. Todd Ainsworth with the Concordia Parish Sheriff&8217;s Office saw Sugg&8217;s truck in the Weeks Furniture parking lot and responded.

Lewis said CPSO officer Ricky Moon, who was off duty, heard Lewis&8217;s description of Sugg on his radio and spotted him in front of the Super Foods store in the parking lot.

Lewis said Sugg was arrested by Sgt. Beverly Metcalf, transported to Riverland Medical Center and treated for minor bruises to the forehead and tested for his blood-alcohol level.

Lewis said Sugg is being held at the CPSO jail and that the investigation is ongoing.
