TONAWANA, N.Y. (WKBW) — A Hamburg man is facing serious criminal charges in connection with a series of hit-and-run crashes, including one that killed a pedestrian in Tonawanda.

Authorities say 32-year-old Mark Whalen has been arraigned on several charges, including manslaughter and leaving the scene of a deadly crash.

Whalen allegedly hit a man who was crossing Delaware Street in Tonawanda back in November of last year. 40-year-old Terrence Wyatt later died from his injuries.

Whalen is also accused of causing four other hit-and-run crashes that same night in Buffalo, Evans, Hamburg and Kenmore.
