Kevin Christian, 41, of Seaside Heights was charged with second- and third-degree aggravated assault in the DWI crash, according to Monmouth County Prosecutor Raymond S. Santiago.
At approximately 8 p.m. on Friday, March 17, Wall Township police responded to a two-vehicle collision on State Highway 138.
Police found a van driven by Christian and an SUV driven by a 44-year-old female resident of Toms River.
Both drivers and the woman’s son, who had sustained a serious head injury, were taken to a local hospital for medical treatment.
An investigation determined that Christian’s blood-alcohol level was more than triple the legal limit at the time of the crash, Santiago said.
It was also discovered that Christian was operating the vehicle with a suspended license.
In addition to the criminal charges against him, he was issued summonses for operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, reckless driving, driving with a suspended license, delaying traffic, and failure to maintain a lane, Santiago said.
Christian was arrested by Wall Township police on Wednesday, June 7, with the assistance of Neptune Township police Department, and transported to the Monmouth County Correctional Institution.
