Police still seek the driver in Tuesday’s fatal hit-and-run crash on Interstate 81 in Greenfield Twp.

John Fiore, 57, of Clay, New York, died Tuesday after a pickup or the carrier it pulled hit and killed Mr. Fiore and injured another man. The pair were standing near their disabled vehicle as John Sauta, 25, of Bridgeport, New York, changed its tire at about 12:15 p.m. The driver of the pickup fled the scene, police said.

Both men were taken to the hospital where Mr. Fiore died. Police did not release any more information on the injured man, including his name.

Mr. Fiore’s autopsy is scheduled for today, Lackawanna County Coroner Tim Rowland said.

State police at Dunmore are seeking a white truck that likely has damage to its right side and green and white paint markings from the crash. It was hauling a red trailer carrying two to four cars.

Trooper Connie Devens, a barracks spokeswoman, said Wednesday they are still looking for the vehicle and the driver.

“Sadly, no,” Trooper Devens said when asked if investigators either found the truck or learned a license plate number.

Anyone with information should contact state police at 570-963-3156.
