Jail Time For Lower Merion Hit-And-Run Driver

LOWER MERION TOWNSHIP, PA – A man who pleaded guilty to a hit-and-run in Lower Merion last year will see jail time after a recent court appearance in Montgomery County.

David Lithie Holmes, 34, of Downingtown, was sentenced to 11-and-a-half to 23 months in prison for a Jan. 2017 hit-and-run on Interstate 76 in Lower Merion, court records show.

Holmes' sentence comes on the heels of him pleading guilty to charges of accidents involving personal injury while not properly licensed, recklessly endangering another person and driving under suspension on June 1.

Holmes was also ordered to serve a two-year probation sentence, court records show.

The crash occurred in the early morning hours of Jan. 28, 2017 on I-76 east.

State Police found a vehicle down an embankment on the highway and learned it had been struck by another vehicle that fled the scene.

Police later found the vehicle in Lower Merion and identified the driver as Holmes.
