An Arlington man is up on charges following Monday morning's deadly hit-and-run in Fort Worth.

Police say a woman was run down and killed on I-30 between Cooks Lane and Eastchase Parkway. Several cars hit her but the driver of the first one never stopped.

However, the driver that fled was hurt bad enough in the impact that he took himself to the hospital where someone called the police.

Police say Hugo Avila was arrested Tuesday on a charge of intoxicated manslaughter.
