Ryan, 63, is charged with two counts of leaving the scene of an accident, two counts of failure to give information or render aid, and two counts of failure to obey a traffic control signal. A judicial commissioner set his bond at $6,000. According to investigators, the crash happened shortly before midnight Thursday at the intersection of 4th Avenue and Broadway. Police allege two pedestrians were crossing Broadway with a walk signal when Ryan's pickup truck turned right from 4th Avenue, running over both victims' feet and striking one person's leg.
