A 53-year-old man found lying in Amarillo Boulevard on Wednesday night is believed to have been the victim of a hit-and-run accident.

The victim was Earl William Peddicord. Peddicord suffered severe head injuries. He died at a local hospital a few hours later.

Witnesses to the accident say that the driver struck Peddicord while Peddicord was crossing the street. The driver then fled from the scene.

Police have located and arrested a suspect whose name has not been released. However, police have revealed that the suspect is a 26-year-old male. He has not yet been charged with the deadly hit-and-run accident. He was arrested on an unrelated charge and is being held in Potter County Detention Center.

The suspect has since admitted to driving the car that struck Peddicord after police confronted him with evidence of his guilt. Police say that the suspect will likely be charged with a third-degree felony count of an accident involving injury or death.

Fourth of July fireworks turned chaotic in Amarillo Saturday night after a multi-vehicle car accident that sent five people to the hospital.

A driver of a Grand Am was stopped in the left lane of Bell Street around 7pm, waiting to turn left into John S. Stiff Memorial Park to watch the fireworks. An Explorer traveling at an excessive rate of speed came up behind the stopped Grand Am. The driver of the Explorer swerved to avoid rear-ending the car and wound up crashing into a Corolla.

At this point, the driver of the Explorer completely lost control of the vehicle, rear-ending the Grand Am and then spinning wildly until colliding with a Dodge pickup.

A stream of people continued to arrive to watch the fireworks and found the Bell Street entrance closed for over two hours. Traffic was diverted to a second park entrance, but those entering on foot walked passed the accident on their way into the park.
