Two pedestrians injured after being struck by car in Hanover Township
State police arrested a McKees Rocks man after he was accused of hitting two pedestrians from Fayette County with his vehicle near The Pavilion at Star Lake following a concert Tuesday night.
Aaron Robert Wayman, 20, faces a felony charge of aggravated assault, and misdemeanor charges of reckless endangerment, accidents involving death or injury while not licensed and driving under the influence.
According to the criminal complaint, the incident occurred at 11:12 p.m. on Star Lake Lane near its intersection with Route 18. The band Pantera had been performing at the concert venue.
Injured were Alice Staley and Nicholas Hawk, both of Allison. State police said both were flown by helicopter to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Their addresses were not listed in the complaint.
Charging documents state that Wayman fled east on Route 22 but was taken into custody shortly after the incident. Police described him as smelling strongly of alcohol.
According to the complaint, Wayman consented to a blood draw.
Wayman was arraigned Wednesday morning before District Judge Phillippe Melograne, who sent him to the Washington County jail on $150,000 bond. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 9:15 a.m. July 24.
