Man pleads guilty in 2011 fatal hit-and-run

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – A man has pleaded guilty in a 2011 hit-and-run crash that left a teen dead.

According to the Marion County prosecutor’s office, Christopher Stimac entered a guilty plea to a charge for failure to stop after an accident resulting in death.

The 2011 fatal crash happened in the 5100 block of South Franklin Road.

The prosecutor’s office said Stimac hit 13-year-old Hadleigh Cave with his vehicle while the teenager was walking with friends.

Cave later died due to injuries from the wreck.

In June of 2015, after receiving a phone call from Stimac’s estranged wife, where she provided officers with pertinent information related to the crash, Stimac was taken into custody.

According to the prosecutor’s office, scheduling is set for July 20.
