A driver who allegedly caused a four-car crash in Denver over the weekend turned himself in on Monday, police said.

The Colorado Bureau of Investigation issued a Medina alert after Denver police said the driver of a BMW X3 SUV struck at least one other car, causing a four-car crash and at least one serious injury near Sloan Lake in west Denver.

On Monday, CBI said it located the BMW. The driver was not immediately identified by police, but investigators did say the driver is facing charges of leaving the scene of a crash.
