New York (AFP) - An arrest was made Friday in the hit-and-run incident that took the life of Zachary Simmons, the cousin of NBA Draft number one overall selection Ben Simmons of Australia.
Mark Nicholas, a 50-year-old Jamaican-born US citizen who lives in New York, was arrested by New York police at about 3 a.m. in connection with the fatal crash last June 25, authorities said.
Police said 21-year-old Zachary Simmons was struck by a utility vehicle in Hoboken, New Jersey, as he was walking home from a friend's birthday party and the vehicle fled the scene.
