The victim told Channel 9 he was driving a van for a transport service that day and had a passenger who was seven months pregnant. He had to decide either to crash into an oncoming van that cut in front of his path or swerve and take a chance to avoid hitting a house.

He swerved into the air and ended up in a house.

On Tuesday, the Gastonia Police Department announced they arrested Logan Thomas Bowling, who they said was driving the white van. They said a tip led them to his workplace.

Bowling is charged with felony hit and run and unsafe movement of a vehicle.
