Police announced an arrest in a July 4th hit-and-run the same day the victim was buried.
On July 4 of last year, a passerby was traveling on the 100 block of North State Road in Springfield, Delaware County when he spotted a man lying on the roadway. He called police who responded to the scene. Police arrived and identified the victim as Thomas Quercetti, 28, of Upper Chichester.
Investigators say Quercetti was walking along N. State Road when he was struck by a vehicle which fled the scene. Using only small pieces of a headlamp found on the road, police say they were able to identify the hit-and-run vehicle as a Toyota 4Runner. After a lengthy investigation, police identified the driver of the Toyota as Pacurie Hun, a 29-year-old worker at a Radnor nail salon.
Quercetti was brain dead for several months before he was finally taken off life support last week. He was buried on Monday, the same day police announced Hun's arrest.
Hun was charged with accidents involving death or personal injury and arraigned with bail set for him at $500,000 cash. Police say he'll be facing a maximum of up to seven years in prison and a $15,000 fine.
