SAN JOSE (CBS SF) -- A man was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of a hit-and-run collision in South San Jose where a Los Gatos couple died earlier this year, police said on Thursday.

Craig Allen, 33, of San Jose, was arrested in connection with a Feb. 20 collision that killed Christopher Durbin, 59, and Sandra Morse, 57, police said.

Officers responded to a two-car collision around 9:30 p.m. that day on Camden Avenue and Hicks Road and arrived to find both vehicles sustained major damage, according to police.

Morse was pronounced dead at the scene and Durbin was transported to a hospital where he succumbed to his injuries, police said.

A follow-up investigation led officers to identify Allen as a suspect and the case was submitted to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office for charges, according to police.

Allen was arrested around 6 p.m. Wednesday and booked into Santa Clara County Jail, police said.

Morse had been a doctor for 22 years with Los Gatos Family Physicians, according to her obituary.
