Michigan Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the CourtSaad, P.J.

Defendant was charged with failure to stop at the scene of a serious personal injury accident, MCL 257.617; MSA 9.2317. After a preliminary examination, the district court bound defendant over to stand trial. Defendant moved in the circuit court to quash the information and dismiss the case on the ground that the prosecutor lacked probable cause to charge defendant with the offense. Despite substantial evidence linking defendant to the crime, Kalamazoo Circuit Judge William G. Schma granted the motion, and the prosecutor appeals. We reverse and remand.
