A probable cause conference is scheduled for Aug. 12 in the case of a hit-and-run crash involving two pedestrians in Monroe County, Michigan, court records show.
Michael D. Kennedy II, 36, of Monroe, was charged with two counts of failure to stop at the scene of a personal injury accident, the Monroe County Sheriff's Office reports. The pedestrian-vehicle crash on June 21 in Frenchtown Township involved a Ford Fusion striking Connie L. Cosby, 40, and Anthony R. Keister, 40, both of Monroe.

Both were taken to Corewell Health Trenton Hospital in the aftermath of the crash. A follow up on their medical conditions was not provided.
Search warrants were later served at a home and garage on North Stoney Creek Road in Frenchtown Township, during which officers found a blue 2009 Ford Fusion suspected of being involved in the crash.
