GREENSBURG, Pa. — A man was sentenced to 40 to 80 years in prison for killing a woman in a road rage incident in Rostraver on New Year’s Day 2022.
Anthony Hairston was sentenced on charges of third-degree murder, tampering with evidence, drug-related offenses and possession of a firearm prohibited for the killing of Holly Vadella around 1:30 a.m. on Jan. 1, 2022.

Prosecutors said that Hairston was agitated when he was driving behind Vadella’s slow-moving vehicle in order to make it to Sweeney’s Café in Rostraver before the bar closed the night of New Year’s Eve.

“While Mr. Hairston will have to live the next 40 to 80 years inside the walls of a prison, this sentence does not bring Holly Vadella back to her loving family. The judge imposed the maximum sentence for third-degree murder, but this crime was unprovoked, senseless, and egregious,” Westmoreland County District Attorney Nicole W. Ziccarelli said.
