PHILADELPHA (AP) - Vehicular homicide and driving under the influence charges have been filed against a driver involved in an early morning crash in northeast Philadelphia that claimed the lives of two people and injured four others, including the defendant, police said.
Nehamiah Carstephen, 27, was driving a car that ran a red light in the Mayfair section of the city and slammed into a car carrying four women shortly after 2:30 a.m. Sunday, police said.
Ciara Parker was pronounced dead at the scene, and Carstephen’s nephew, Rashaan Cole, 18 was pronounced dead three hours later, police said. A 29-year-old woman was taken to a hospital in critical condition while a 30-year-old woman and an 18-year-old woman were listed as stable, police said.
It’s unclear whether Carstephen has an attorney; a listed number for him couldn’t be found Monday.
