   A driver who was arrested Wednesday after a deadly hit-and-run   
   crash in Boston made no apologies before he was taken into   
   custody, saying it was just an "unfortunate situation."   
      
   The Boston Police Department said in a news release Phocian   
   Fitts, 23, of Brighton, Mass. was arrested on charges of motor   
   vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of an accident after   
   causing death.   
      
   The crash happened around 12:50 p.m. on Commonwealth Avenue,   
   where police said that Fitts struck the victim, a man in his   
   80's, and then kept driving. Police took Fitts in for   
   questioning sometime after the crash but was released.   
      
   The victim’s name has not been released.   
      
   Hours later, Boston 25 News reporter Drew Karedes found Fitts,   
   who confessed on camera to leaving the scene of the crash after   
   striking the man.   
      
   "I was listening to my music and as I was driving I was driving   
   too quick, I was driving too quick to the point where I couldn’t   
   really stop and it was a green light," Fitts told Boston 25   
   News. "As the guy was walking, the light was green, I’m driving   
   and pressing the horn, pressing the horn beep beep, it was   
   either I was going to die and crash into a pole. When it came   
   down to it accidents happen."   
      
   The 23-year-old told Boston 25 in the exclusive interview that   
   he is not "stone-cold killer."   
      
   "I didn't do nothing on purpose," he told the television   
   station. "People hit and run people all the time, it just   
   happened to be an unfortunate situation where I was driving."   
      
   Fitts spoke to Boston 25 News still wearing the disposable suit   
   given to him during police questioning after his clothes were   
   seized as potential evidence. The news station reported that   
   police did not have enough evidence to arrest Fitts initially   
   until he spoke to the Boston 25 reporter.   
      
   When asked if he should have stopped after striking the man,   
   Fitts stood by his decision.   
      
   "First off, I was scared and worried because I didn't know what   
   can happen, that's why I left I said God forbid, I hope he's   
   OK," he told Boston 25. "I'm a real gangster, I'm a real   
   gangster not in a bad way. I’m a gangster because I help out the   
   community and I look out for the youth. I know that’s why   
   everybody got my back, my family. I'm not scared. It is what it   
   is."   
      
   Boston Police said they are reviewing area surveillance video to   
   check the green light, and are asking anyone who witnessed the   
   crash to contact them.
