Three UTRGV students have been charged in a hit and run incident that left a bicyclist seriously injured. The man was on his bike near East University Drive and South 21st Avenue at around 9 p.m. Tuesday when he was hit by a Chevrolet Silverado.

The driver of the pickup kept on driving. But some time after, Edinburg police say they were contacted by 19-year-old Robert Brown, who admitted to being the driver. Brown was arraigned Wednesday on a charge of accident causing serious injury and given a $60,000 bond. Two passengers in the pickup, 19-year-old Juan Taylor and 18-year-old Jaeden Servantez, were arraigned on charges of failing to report a felony.

A UTRGV spokesman confirms all three men are student athletes and says the university is considering what disciplinary action to take against the three.
