A Knoxville man was arrested in Ottumwa Monday after he allegedly left the scene of a motorcycle accident in which his girlfriend was injured. According to court documents 36-year-old Trevor White of Knoxville was arrested for a warrant out of Washington County for leaving the scene of an accident with serious injuries near West Chester. The incident which occurred on the evening of July 1st, involved a woman injured in a motorcycle wreck who needed to be airlifted to the University of Iowa Hospital for treatment of injuries.
