Former student sentenced to prison for April hit-and-run

Last spring, The Temple News reported that Tony Foltz, 26, a third-year law student at the time, was left in a coma after he was struck by a white Subaru at 22nd Street and Benjamin Franklin Parkway at around 2:30 a.m on April 11.

The driver, Nicholas Hasselback, 23, a senior majoring in anthropology and economics at the time, fled the scene immediately, but an anonymous tip led police to his car.

The Philadelphia Daily News recently reported that Hasselback, who has withdrawn from Temple, pleaded guilty to the hit-and-run last month and has been sentenced to 3 to 6 years in prison, along with seven years of probation and a restitution of $2,737.

Foltz has reportedly returned to Temple and continued his law studies, after multiple surgeries six weeks of rehabilitation.
