The Missouri State Highway Patrol has arrested a hit-and-run driver wanted in the death of a motorcyclist in Barry County.

The Patrol says 19 year-old Derek Coburn faces a second-degree murder charge in the death of 38 year old Patrick Anderson of Aurora.

The crash happened in June near Jenkins.

Coburn is accused of striking Anderson’s motorcycle and then abandoning the pickup he was driving, which authorities say was stolen from Monett.
