Chaney was the only one at the scene from the Jeep, police said. They are trying to determine who was driving the vehicle. Chaney was arrested for a parole violation after he attempted to run from the scene on foot, but couldn't because of his injuries.

Officers said bystander video or photos could help. Chaney hasn't yet been charged with further in connection with the wreck.
