A Warren man has been jailed on $150,000 bail after allegedly killing a pedestrian and fleeing the area.

Cyrus L. Sears, 22, of Warren was charged Monday with second-degree felony accidents involving death or personal injury, misdemeanor tampering with/fabricating physical evidence and accident involving damage attended vehicle/property as well as three traffic citations, including reckless driving, failure to stop and give information or render aid and failure to notify police department of an accident. Bail was set Tuesday at $150,000 by Magisterial District Judge Raymond Zydonik. A preliminary hearing will be held today, Jan. 21, in front of Judge Zydonik.

According to a news release from the Warren Police Department, officers responded to a reported motor vehicle accident at 5:25 p.m. Monday. Witnesses said a black truck hit a 57-year-old man who was on an electric mobility scooter. The truck fled the area. The man on the scooter was pronounced dead by the Warren County Coroner.

“On arrival officers located the victim laying in the westbound lane of Pennsylvania Avenue with bystanders performing CPR,” the Affidavit of Probable Cause filed by Warren police states. ”

The affidavit states the accident took place as Sears was allegedly leaving the Country Fair at 4313 E. Pennsylvania Ave., Warren, proceeding north on Buchanan Street and then east on Madison Avenue. City police were able to find Sears at his residence roughly eight or nine blocks away, according to the affidavit.

“Officers secured the scene, while assisting officers searched the surrounding area for the suspect vehicle,” the affidavit states. “Officers reviewed security footage at Country Fair and identified the suspect as Cyrus Lee Sears, now known as the defendant.”

Officers spoke with Sears. According to the affidavit, he allegedly admitted to officers that he had hit something leaving Country Fair, drove home and then found a scooter under the front of his truck. Police said in a news release that the scooter was then removed from underneath the truck and concealed in the bed of the truck under a closed tonneau cover, something the affidavit states Sears allegedly admitted to when speaking with police.

“Within this 35 minute time frame the defendant did not contact police, or emergency services,” the affidavit states. “The defendant failed to immediately stop or remain at the scene. The defendant did not provide his information or render aid.”

Additional charges are possible as the investigation continues.

Warren police were assisted by the Warren Fire Department, Pennsylvania State Police, Conewango Township Police and the Warren County Coroner’s Office.
