A driver is facing DUI and other charges after allegedly flipping an SUV and fleeing the scene Monday night in the Hatboro section of Upper Moreland Township, according to authorities.
Police say the crash occurred around 8:34 p.m. on April 13 near Byberry Road and Davisville Road, where a 9-1-1 caller reported a vehicle overturned onto its roof.

According to investigators, the vehicle involved had an expired registration.
