Suffolk County police arrested John Pappias and charged him with leaving the scene of a fatal motor vehicle crash. On Oct.28, Victor Schultz and a coworker were on Route 25A in Fort Salonga loading a milling machine onto a trailer on the side of the roadway when Schultz was struck by a vehicle at 1:35 a.m. They were working the overnight shift for Intercounty Paving in Hicksville.
Schultz, 49, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Office of the Suffolk County Medical Examiner. The coworker was uninjured.
Pappias, 46, of 34 Lisa Drive, is scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Central Islip on Sunday.

I am just glad to hear the man was caught. It is such an immaginable/inhumane act to abandon someone you killed on the side of the road... Accident or no accident hopefully the family can somewhat rest assured knowing the party responsible has been apprehended.
