ASHEVILLE, N.C. (AP) - A North Carolina man has been charged with felony hit and run in a crash that killed a motorcyclist.

The Asheville Citizen-Times reported that 22-year-old Aron Clifford Hallum turned himself in Friday and was also charged with driving with a revoked license.

Police say 36-year-old Johnnie Nelson Faircloth Jr. of Asheville died when his motorcycle was hit by a car Friday afternoon. A female passenger on the motorcycle was injured, but those injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.

Investigators say the driver of the car ran from the accident, leaving his car and two passengers. It was not immediately clear whether Hallum remained in jail or whether he has an attorney. A phone message left for a jail spokesman was not immediately returned Saturday.
