UFC star Jon Jones has been named as a suspect in a hit-and-run accident that occurred on Sunday.

Albuquerque Police have confirmed that the 27-year-old could be charged with a misdemeanour hit-and-run charge after a pregnant woman suffered non life-threatening injuries.

According to the Daily Mail, the police department's spokesman Simon Drobik revealed that if Jones is responsible for the accident, which involved a collision with another car, he would be liable for vehicle damages and medical bills for the woman, who was sent to hospital.

In January, Jones checked into rehab after testing positive for cocaine.
