A University of Oregon football player has been arrested in connection to a fatal hit-and-run crash that left a man dead, police said.
Daylen Austin, 19, was arraigned Wednesday afternoon and charged with failing to perform the duties of a driver in the crash that took place Monday in Eugene, according to the Eugene Register-Guard, part of the USA TODAY Network.
According to information from Eugene Police spokesperson Melinda McLaughlin, the hit-and-run occurred just after 9 p.m. local time Monday in a residential neighborhood about 2 miles northwest of downtown. The city of Eugene is in central Oregon, about 50 miles east of the Pacific Ocean.
Police said the person killed was a 46-year-old man but have not released his name.
USA TODAY has reached out to police to see if the man's next of kin had been notified.

The USA TODAY Network has reached out to Austin's criminal defense attorney Bryan Boender.
"We are aware of the incident and are awaiting additional information," an Oregon athletics spokesperson told the Register-Guard in an email Wednesday.
