MADISON, Neb. -- A Norfolk man accused of an Independence Day weekend hit-and-run will be due in court next week as he now officially faces a felony charge.

Deputy Madison County Attorney Matthew Kiernan filed charges against 34-year-old Manuel Larios-Ramos on Tuesday. Larios-Ramos is accused of striking 60-year-old Cami Story with his SUV. According to Norfolk Police, an officer spotted Story while he was directing traffic following the Big Bang Boom fireworks show. Story was hospitalized with serious injuries, and a GoFundMe was established to cover her expenses.

A witness provided a description of the vehicle, according to Norfolk PD's initial report. After gathering information at the scene, the officer returned to the police station to review his in-car camera footage. The officer was able to identify the suspect vehicle as a tan or gold Mercury Mountaineer and he compiled a list of these vehicles registered in Madison County. In his search, he located a possible suspect vehicle in the 200 block of N. Cottonwood.

In examining the vehicle the officer noticed damage on the front of the hood and license plate holder, according to Norfolk Police Capt. Michael Bauer. Hair strands were recovered from a sharp piece of the frame, Bauer said. Investigators said the driver had attended the fireworks display and was in the area of the accident at the time.

Larios-Ramos is charged with leaving the scene of an accident causing serious bodily injury. He makes his first court appearance on Tuesday.
