Hit and Run Driver Sentenced to Jail

On Wednesday, December 16, a driver of a vehicle who killed a motorcyclist in a hit and run in Hagerstown was sentenced to 13 years in state prison.

The incident took place in September 2014, when 50 year old Nathanial W. Hart of Shippensburg, Pa. struck and killed 33 year old Darren E. Reeder on his motorcycle in in the intersection of West Wilson Boulevard and Virginia Avenue in Hagerstown.
