!COMPARE BETWEEN TWO
Motorcyclist Struck Dead In Northern Allegheny County
PINE TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- A
doctor is accused of hitting and killing a motorcyclist with his car on
the Pennsylvania Turnpike in northern Allegheny County after leading
police on a high-speed chase early Thursday morning.Pennsylvania State
Police said the motorcyclist -- Keith Brown, 46, of Green Bay, Wis. --
was struck near mile-marker 33 in Pine Township at about 5 a.m.Police
said the driver who hit the motorcyclist is Shiva Lal Acharya, 33 (pictured below).
Trooper Robin Mungo of the Pennsylvania State Police says Lal Acharya,
who is a medical doctor from Illinois, ran from the crash scene. Mungo
also says Lal Acharya's troubles began hours earlier when Ohio police
tried to pull him over for speeding.
"The suspect appeared as though he was going to stop. But after a mile
and a half he increased his speed hoping to elude the patrolman. They
reached speeds up to 130 mph before the officer called off the 23-mile
pursuit at the state line," Mungo said.
Mungo told WTAE the doctor never slowed his BMW down and instead made
one bad decision after another, ending with the death of an innocent
man."It's surprising when anyone leaves a scene. No one should ever
leave the scene of a crash no matter what type of degree you have,"
Mungo said.But in this case, police said the degree may have mattered
because the man who should by law have rendered aid is a man who makes
a living saving lives.Following the crash at about 4:10 a.m., Lal
Acharya ran into some nearby woods and was located after 8 a.m.
following a search that included several police agencies on the ground
and a helicopter above the area, police said. When he was arrested,
police say Lal Acharya was wearing shorts, a T-shirt and no shoes, with
visible head and leg injuries. He was taken into custody on several
charges, including homicide by vehicle, hit and run, leaving the scene
of an accident and other traffic violations.Investigators said Lal
Acharya had been on his way to Easton, Pa., for a job
interview.Eastbound lanes of the Pennsylvania Turnpike were closed and
traffic was detoured until 8:42 a.m. because of the fatal crash. - Source

Associated Press, December 14, 2008, PITTSBURGH
A Chicago doctor charged with killing a motorcyclist in a hit-and-run
accident has committed suicide in the Pennsylvania jail where he was
being held, officials said Sunday.
The Allegheny County medical examiner’s office confirmed the death of
33-year-old Shiva Lal Acharya. An autopsy was scheduled for Sunday. No
details were immediately available.
The doctor killed himself about 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Acharya’s nephew,
Ramesh Lamichhane, of Harrisburg, told the Post-Gazette of Pittsburgh.
Acharya was driving from Chicago to a job interview in Easton, Pa., on
Sept. 4. Police say he began fleeing Ohio authorities at high speeds
because he didn’t have a valid driver’s license in that state.
Police say he lost control of his car on the Pennsylvania Turnpike,
