"As a direct result of the support from local news media and the assistance of the public, Jyon Collins responded to the Dearborn Police Department this afternoon, to voluntarily surrender to officials," police said in a statement.
Other details about Collins or the case were not released Wednesday.
“With the subject in custody, it's important to note that this investigation is active and ongoing," Police Chief Ronald Haddad said in a statement. "You will be kept updated when appropriate."
The victim, Batoul Haider Alfadawi, was hit by a silver or white Chevy Equinox on Sunday afternoon, which did not stop. She died at Children's Hospital of Michigan.
