A pedestrian crash that killed a man Friday evening in Allentown was the result of an argument between the victim and a delivery driver, the Lehigh County District Attorney’s Office said.

District Attorney Gavin Holihan told lehighvalleylive.com on Tuesday morning that 29-year-old Rigoberto “Rigo” Hernandez got into some type of altercation with a delivery driver just prior to the alleged hit-and-run accident. Hernandez left his car to confront the delivery driver in a van, Holihan said.

Investigators believe the victim was then deliberately struck and run over by the other driver, authorities had said.

There’s no indication Hernandez and the delivery driver knew each other previously, Holihan said. As of Tuesday morning, no one was in custody and no charges were filed in the case.
