Calexico police located Carrizosa and his vehicle as it entered Calexico City Limits. The CHP was called and the Calexico resident was placed under arrest for felony DUI, felony hit and run and driving while suspended for previous offenses. Carrizosa was taken to ECRMC for treatment for a laceration on his hand. The Highway Patrol is continuing to investigate the collision.
