Ice cream truck driver charged in death of man in Wall Township
A 46-year old Farmingdale man has been charged with leaving the scene of a fatal accident and causing the death of a person while driving with a suspended driver's license. According to the the Asbury Park Press article and the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office, the defendant was driving an ice cream truck in Wall Township last year when he ran over a man who had fallen down in the road. The defendant denies these charges and will enter a not guilty plea at his arraignment. The allegations are that the defendant left the scene of the accident and failed to report the accident but he was identified as the driver of the vehicle by witnesses. The defendant is free on $250,000.00 bail and faces up to ten (10) years in prison if convicted of these charges.
