FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) - Prosecutors say a man was driving drunk when he caused a fatal head-on crash with a minivan being used as a medical transport vehicle.
Shawn Huntsinger faces vehicular homicide and assault by auto charges stemming from Tuesday’s crash in Franklin Township, which also left him and two other people injured.
Gloucester County prosecutors say the 45-year-old Franklinville man was driving northbound when his car struck the southbound minivan driven by 26-year-old Joseph Maressa, of Voorhees.
Joseph Sauro, a 67-year-old Millville resident who was riding in the minivan, was taken to a hospital but died there a short time later. Maressa, Huntsinger and another passenger in the minivan, 54-year-old James Runyon, were treated at hospitals for undisclosed injuries.
It wasn’t known Wednesday if Huntsinger has retained an attorney.
