A 91-year-old man in Brevard County, Fla., is accused of hitting and killing a pedestrian and then driving off and getting into another accident a short time later, according to Local 6 News.

Investigators said William Earl Rohde hit and killed a man along North Courtenay Parkway at about 5:30 a.m. Friday and then continued driving.

A short time later, Rohde was involved in another crash along state Road 3.

When sheriff's deputies arrived at the scene of the second crash, they did not think much about it and allowed Rohde to continue driving to dialysis treatment.

After the Rohde was allowed to leave the scene of the second crash, the body from the first incident was discovered, Local 6's Donald Forbes said.

"Investigators starting putting two-plus-two together and reexamined the 91-year-old's Mercury," Forbes said. "That's where they found blood stains and hair believed to belong to the victim."

The Florida Highway Patrol then went and arrested Rohde.

Local 6 News asked Rohde what happened after he was taken into police custody and he replied, "I killed a guy."

"He thinks he hit something," Florida Highway Patrol Officer Channing Taylor said. "He wasn't sure what he hit. He said he did turn around to look and really couldn't find anything."

Rohde faces a couple of felony charges, including leaving the scene of an accident and failure to render aid charges.

"There was no reckless driving," Taylor said. "There was no excessive speed involved in this. This is just a case where the pedestrian was crossing in a dark area of the roadway, not at a crosswalk."

Troopers said the ticket is Rohde's first in more than 70 years.
