Middletown Hit-and-Run Victim Dies
A week after he was struck by a car on New Falls Road, John Rearick, 23, died on Sunday.
On Saturday, July 22, at about 12:30 a.m., John Rearick, 23, was struck by a Cadillac while crossing New Falls Road in Middletown. Rearick died from his injures Sunday, July 28.

Police describe the car as a red or maroon Cadillac, possibly 2000 or newer, and it will likely have front-end damage.
