An Elverson man has been charged with vehicular homicide by the DA related to a Sept. 6 crash that killed two people. He recently waived his preliminary hearing, which is a common tactic by lawyers who defend such individuals when they believe the District Judge is clearly going to find a prima facie case to turn it over to Common Pleas Court.
The Defendant through his lawyer pleaded not guilty to charges of vehicular homicide while under the influence and related charges.
He allegedly jumped over a guard rail and fell 36 feet in an attempt to flee. The crash killed a Norristown married couple.
Police claim the Defendant was under the influence of marijuana when he drove the wrong way on 202 North Exit Ramp at Frazer and hit a Suzuki Sidekick.
Victims' family were present at the Preliminary Hearing and obviously grieving.
The police report indicates officers responded at 1:57 a.m. and stopped the Defendant, who was running on the southbound side of Route 202. He had blood on his face and body. At 4:12 a.m., the West Whiteland Township Police Department detectives spoke with the Defendant at the hospital. He apparently claimed not to remember the incident and claimed to have last remembered leaving his apartment in Frazer and driving toward Elverson.
Blood and urine samples were obtained at the hospital.
