The driver of a vehicle who struck and killed a pedestrian Sunday in Clanton faces felony charges of leaving the scene of an accident.

Juan Robles Velasco, 36, of Clanton is being held in the Chilton County Jail on bonds totaling $400,000, according to a release from Clanton Police.

A truck driven by Velasco heading south on U.S. Highway 31 allegedly struck Barbara Jean Headley, 67, of Clanton at about 7 p.m. Sunday as she crossed the highway near Best Cars.

The victim was pronounced dead on the scene.

“Our hearts and prayers go out to the family of the victim,” Clanton Police Chief Brian Stilwell said.

Velasco was located shortly after the incident off Fulmer Drive by Clanton Police.

An investigation of the incident is ongoing, and additional charges could be forthcoming, according to the release.

The incident is the sixth this year to be handled by the Clanton Police Department Traffic Homicide Investigation team.
