Credit: Submitted Firefighter Daniel Santiago

A lifetime member of the Bristol Goodwill Hose Company Station 52 was killed in a hit and run accident on Route 13, early Tuesday morning

53 year -old Daniel Santiago was riding his bicycle on Route 13 between Beaver Dam Road and Green Lane when he was struck from behind police say, by an unknown vehicle in Bristol Township.

Santiago was pronounced dead at the scene, said police.

Police say they are still investigating the fatal hit and run and ask anyone with information to contactย  Sgt C.J. Winik or officer Pat Kitchenman at 267-812-3053.

If you lived in Bristol you often saw Santiago riding his bike throughout the borough, always with a quick joke, followed by a laugh.

Our condolences to his family and fellow firefighters at Station 52.

    I am a life member ladies auxiliary at Bristol Fire co. #1 & along with my husband Jim a volunteer firefighter for #1โ€™s for over 50 years worked bingo at Good Will fire co. #3โ€™s on Thursday evenings for over 15 years & Danny would come up to the kitchen window to buy something to eat or drink & he was
    One of the nicest people around.
    You never heard anything negative c
    Concerning Danny. We would
    Often see him riding by our house
    On hi is bike. My heart goes out
    to the family during this difficult
    time.How could anyone be so
    heartless to leave a person dying
    after striking him is beyond my
    apprehension, but he or she will
    have to live with that guilt for the
    rest of their life!
    Sincerely
    Kathy Lake
