A suspect in the New Year's Day hit-and-run of a bicyclist in Bucks County has turned himself into the Bensalem Township Police Department. James Hasher surrendered to police on Wednesday morning. It happened around 9:30 a.m. on Sunday morning. 56-year-old Lenny Golin was riding his bike along Tennis Avenue in Bensalem, between Bristol Pike and State Road, when he was struck. Another motorist found Golin suffering from severe injuries and a shattered leg. He remains in the hospital. Police obtained surveillance footage from the area and released images of a red truck. Tips from the public helped them locate the truck and identify Hasher. He is charged with accidents involving death or personal injury, failure to render aid and careless driving.
