(KLZA)--An arrest has been made in a hit-and-run collision that occurred just outside of Auburn Sunday evening.

23-year-old Katelynne Moore of Auburn has been hospitalized in Lincoln in critical but stable condition with a traumatic brain injury.

According to a press release from the Nemaha County Sheriff's Office, 33-year-old Dustin Pierce of Auburn was arrested Wednesday evening for leaving the scene of a crash causing serious bodily injury.

Wednesday morning deputies served a search warrant in Auburn that resulted in the recovery of the vehicle that struck Moore.

The warrant was the result of several tips from the public and deputies eliminating vehicles matching the description of the vehicle being sought.

Shortly after 9:00 Sunday evening the Nemaha County Sheriff's Office received a call of a pedestrian being hit by a vehicle just east of Auburn on 728 Road.

Moore was found in the north grader ditch of the roadway and eventually flown to the Lincoln hospital.
