An Amazon delivery driver has been arrested after he was allegedly involved in a fatal hit-and-run accident outside Highmark Stadium during the Buffalo Bills football game, according to authorities.
Around 8:20 p.m. on Nov. 13, police responded to Highmark Stadium for a report of an injured pedestrian, WHAM reported.
The 65-year-old victim was taken to a local hospital, where he died from his injuries, officials said.
The vehicle involved in the crash did flee the scene, but police said they were able to locate it in Buffalo after a witness managed to get a license plate number from the vehicle.
According to Erie County District Attorney John Flynn, the driver, 32-year-old Khairulla Hasein, was working as an Amazon delivery driver delivering packages when the crash took place. He also had his 9-year-old son in the car with him.
Hasein was arrested and charged with leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death, officials said.

He is being held in jail without bond and if convicted, he could face up to seven years in prison.
Officials said Hasein’s alleged decision to flee the scene of the crash is the only reason he’s being charged.
"This could change in the future obviously, but if he would have stopped, there would have been no criminal charges," Flynn said. "There is no indication at all that there was any speeding involved, reckless driving involved, not a cell phone, no drugs, no alcohol," according to WHAM.
