MIAMI (WSVN) - A man charged in connection to a hit-and-run in Miami that left a man dead faced a judge this weekend.
George Sternbergh appeared in bond court, Saturday afternoon. The 57-year-old faces multiple charges including fleeing the scene of a crash, reckless driving and driving with a suspended license.
Police said Sternbergh struck a man who was trying to cross the street with a friend in the area of Northwest 14th Avenue and 54th Street, Thursday night.
