A 57-year-old City of Newburgh man has been arrested in connection with a fatal hit-and-run crash in December 2025, city police said.

Alcio R. Poma-Romero was arrested Nov. 4 and charged with leaving the scene of a fatal motor vehicle crash, a Class D felony. He also received a summons for speeding.

Police said officers responded to 366 South St. at approximately 3:15 a.m. Dec. 8, 2025, after a utility crew discovered an unresponsive man lying just off the roadway.
