The 24-year-old driver who hit Lee stayed at the scene of the crash and has been detained after showing signs of impairment, according to police. Sources confirmed the name of the suspect to First Alert 4 but because charges have not yet been filed we are not naming him. But court records show the man is currently on probation for a previous domestic assault and DWI case in St. Charles County. At the time of his last arrest police said he was living in the country illegally.
