His trial is set to begin April 23, just over a year after the incident occurred.
Authorities say Blaha was driving a pickup truck that alleged struck Amber Wilhelm early April 14th while she was crossing Bluemont Avenue in Manhattan, and then drove away.
He turned himself in to Riley County authorities in August, and is currently free on a $20,000 bond.
