Prosecutors yesterday charged a Lakewood man with five felonies based on accusations he fled the scene of a crash that killed a man in a wheelchair in Long Beach.

Jesus Jorge Arias, 37, initially drove off after hitting 29-year-old Kyle McNeley around 8 p.m. on March 28, authorities said. But he returned to the scene after a motorcyclist followed him and urged him to go back, according to the motorcyclist, Mike Da Veiga.

Arias now faces one count each of driving under the influence of an alcoholic beverage causing injury, driving with a 0.08 percent blood-alcohol content causing injury, hit-and-run driving resulting in death and two counts of child abuse under circumstances likely to produce great bodily injury or death, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

Da Veiga said he saw two small kids in the Jeep Grand Cherokee Arias was driving when he managed to flag him down not far from the crash.

“There was blood on the window,” according to Da Veiga, who said he’d stopped his bike at Bellflower Boulevard and Harvey Way to let McNeley cross when the Jeep sped by, hitting McNeley.

The Jeep’s driver then slowly turned the corner and kept driving, Da Veiga said.

“For all I know he was in shock,” he said. Da Veiga said McNeley was crossing against a red light, but police have not confirmed that.

McNeley was well-known in the neighborhood. He’d been in a wheelchair since suffering a stroke, according to his family.

He would often go on “adventures,” looking for people to talk to or help in whatever way he could, they told the Post.

“Once he found out he could get on the bus for free, … there was just no stopping him,” his mom, Michelle McNeley, said.

Arias is set to be arraigned April 18 in Long Beach Superior Court. He’s been held in lieu of $330,000 bail since his arrest the night of the crash, jail records show.
