A fender bender at Colony Plaza led to the arrest of an unlicensed driver from Colombia.

Eduar Yamid Vargas Arciniegas, 38, of Orlando, had been at the wheel of a black 2017 Hyundai Accent when he backed into another vehicle at about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at the 7-Eleven at Colony Plaza, according to an arrest report from the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office.

A computer check revealed that the native of Colombia has never obtained a driver’s license in the United States.

He was arrested on a charge of operating a motor vehicle without a license. He was booked at the Sumter County Detention Center on $150 bond.
