Authorities say the driver left the scene without reporting the crash.
Investigators, based on evidence left at the scene, determined that the victim had been struck by a red Chevrolet Cruze. The suspect vehicle was found at a Norwich, Connecticut, body shop on Jan. 3.
Horne surrendered to police and faces arraignment later Tuesday. It was unclear if he has a lawyer.
