SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. β A Mexican man has been arrested in last year's hit-and-run death of a Phoenix doctor.
Scottsdale police say 26-year-old Ruben Santiago-Lopez turned himself in Monday at the Nogales port of entry.
Dr. Robert Arceci died at the scene after a landscape truck turned in front of him while he was riding his motorcycle in Scottsdale.
At the time of his death, the 65-year-old Arceci was hematology/oncology division chief at Phoenix Children's Hospital.
Police say the truck that hit Arceci pulled over and remained on scene with two occupants, but the driver identified as Santiago-Lopez ran away and fled to Mexico.
Santiago-Lopez was extradited to Maricopa County. He's being held on suspicion of failing to remain at the scene of a fatal collision and causing death by use of a vehicle.
