LOCKPORT, N.Y. — The driver involved in a deadly hit-and-run Saturday evening in the Town of Lockport has been arrested.
Nathan Marziale, 38, of Lockport is charged with one count of leaving the scene of a fatal accident, according to Niagara County Sheriff Michael Filicetti.
On Sunday night, the sheriff's office identified the pedestrian killed as Rafael A. Medinagonzalez, a 28-year-old man from Grand Island.
The sheriff's office says the crash happened around 6:30 p.m. Saturday in front of 6694 Dysinger Road in the Town of Lockport, and the driver left the scene. Deputies say they found the man, 28, who had been hit in the area of Bowmiller Road and Akron Road — almost two miles away from the crash scene.
He was transported to Eastern Niagara Hospital in Lockport, where he later died of his injuries.
Just after 2 a.m. Sunday, the Niagara County Sheriff's Office posted on their Facebook page that the vehicle involved in the crash — a 2018 BMW X5 — had been located.
Marziale was taken to the Niagara County Jail, where he is being held pending arraignment.
