INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - A man accused of a hit and run accident that killed a 6-month-old girl appeared in court Wednesday morning.

John Daugherty faces a preliminary charge of failing to stop at an accident causing a death.

Police believe Daugherty was driving the car that hit an 18-year-old man and the stroller carrying Adrianne Marlette last Friday. Adrianne died at Riley Hospital on Saturday. The 18-year-old was treated and released at the hospital.
 
Just hours after the accident, police recovered the car they think was involved. Monday evening, they arrested Daugherty.
