Charges Filed in Alcohol-Related Hit & Run Crash in South Fargo

FARGO, N.D. (KVRR/KFGO) — Charges are filed against a Fargo man accused of an alcohol-related, hit-and-run crash that left two people with serious injuries in south Fargo Saturday afternoon.

24-year-old Nicholas Tschosik is charged with DUI, DUI test refusal, two counts of leaving the scene of an injury accident, reckless driving, and driving under suspension.

Witnesses told officers they saw a car going up to 90 miles an hour shortly before crashing head-on into a vehicle with five people inside.

Police say Tschosik got into another vehicle and the driver took him to the E-R but did not know he was fleeing the scene.

Officers found empty alcohol bottles and Tschosik’s cell phone inside his vehicle.

One person in the crash suffered a possible broken sternum, spine, and collapsed lung.

Another suffered a possible broken knee.

Tschosik was arrested earlier this year and pleaded guilty to a DUI charge. He was given unsupervised probation, ordered to attend a victim impact panel, and obtain a chemical dependency evaluation.

In February, Tschosik pleaded guilty to an October 2023 reckless driving charge.
