LANCASTER, Pa. — A Lancaster man has been charged with the fatal hit and run of a pediatrician in the fall of 2021.
On Oct. 29, 2021, Dr. Steven Killbough was struck by a white work van at the intersection of West Chestnut Street and North Prince Street in Lancaster.
A nearby ambulance team took Killough to a local hospital where he remained until he died from his injuries on Nov. 12.
On Nov. 15, police said they identified a person of interest in the fatal hit and run.
Officials now say, on Feb. 1, 2022, they’ve charged Rodolfo Paradas with the hit and run after using a video of the crash.
Using the video, officials say they tracked down the suspected van from the crash and its owner, Paradas.
Police say after the crash, Paradas got out of the car and helped Killbough off the road before getting back in the van and leaving.
According to the Lancaster County Coroner, Killbough died from a traumatic head injury, and the manner of death was accidental.
Paradas is charged with two felonies related to the fatal crash and associated charges.
