A pizza delivery driver charged in connection with a fatal hit-and-run in 2024 has been found guilty.
On Jan. 10, 2024, Oshkosh police received a 911 call reporting a hit-and-run on Ohio Street and West Third Avenue around 6:30 p.m. The caller reported that the 38-year-old male victim was in critical condition and that the van that caused the collision had fled the scene without slowing down. The victim died at the accident and has not yet been publicly identified.
The van was identified as belonging to Mark Radley, a 61-year-old pizza driver who was on the clock at the time. His van was tracked to his place of work and was observed to have severe damage to the front of the vehicle. Police reviewed security footage and noted that at 6:40 p.m., Radley pulled back into the pizza shop’s parking lot, stepped out to observe the damage, shrugged and then reentered the establishment.
According to the criminal complaint, when officers questioned Radley about what had happened to his van, he responded, “Did I hit something?” He claimed to have no recollection of the event’s details, only that he had felt a “small jolt” in the car near Ohio Street.
“Just kept going, I guess, didn’t know what it was,” Radley said in the criminal complaint.
Radley was booked into the Winnebago County Jail with a single felony count of a hit-and-run causing death. At the time of his arrest, Radley pleaded no contest and argued that he was not competent to stand trial. On Feb. 12, 2025, the court ruled that he had been found competent to stand trial.
Radley, who faces a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison, will return to court for his sentencing date on Nov. 21.
