The son of Oscar-nominated actress Virginia Madsen and soap star Antonio Sabàto Jr. was arrested in connection with a fatal hit-and-run in Alaska, police said Tuesday.

Jack Antonio Sabàto, 32, was booked into the Anchorage Correctional Complex on suspicion of leaving the scene of a deadly accident and failing to assist, jail records show.

The crash happened a little before 5:48 a.m. local time Monday when officers and medics came to the aid of an “unresponsive adult male” at the intersection of Airport Heights Drive and Debarr Road, according to an Anchorage police statement.

Carl Simmonds, a 42-year-old pedestrian, “had been struck by a vehicle, which then fled the scene,” police added. Simmonds was pronounced dead at the scene.

Later in the day, police identified the younger Sabàto as the driver who was allegedly behind the wheel of Chevrolet Tahoe, officials said.

Sabàto lives in Anchorage just 1 1/2 miles away from the crash scene, according to Alaska voter registration records.
