Bail has been set at $1 million for a 60-year old Buffalo, Missouri man being held in the Fayette County Jail, on charges connected to the recent fatal pedestrian accident on Interstate 70 in western Fayette County. 

Ray L. Ryan is charged with failure to report an accident involving personal injury or death.

Ryan was arrested in Ohio after authorities investigating the crash that claimed the life of 46-year-old Peter F. Peters of Ontario, Canada, identified the vehicle that struck Peters and tracked it to an Ohio truck stop.

Ryan was subsequently arrested on a Fayette County warrant and extradited back to Illinois. Ryan made his first appearance Friday in Fayette County Court with a court appointed attorney.

He’s next due in court for a bond hearing on June 26.
