HARTLAND TOWNSHIP, MI — A 63-year-old Brighton man was arrested in connection with a fatal hit-and-run crash in Hartland Township early Monday morning, according to Michigan State Police.

The crash happened at 1:40 a.m. Monday morning on Old U.S. 23 near Bergin Road in Hartland Township, according to police.
