Avrohom Pam was charged with death by auto and assault by auto, according to Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer
The crash resulted in the death of Sean Avon, 26, of Brick Township, he said.
On June 11, 2021, at approximately 5:15 p.m., Lakewood Township Police were called to Lanes Mills Road for a report of a serious motor vehicle crash.
An investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Vehicular Homicide Squad, Lakewood Township Police Department, and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit, revealed that Pam was driving a 2021 Ford Van in the rightmost lane of travel on Lanes Mills Road, when he struck a 2019 Honda CRV being driven by John Arendt, Jr., 73, of Brick Township.
The force of the collision propelled Arendt’s vehicle into the northbound lane of traffic where it struck a 2012 Ford Mustang head-on being driven by Avon.
Avon suffered serious injuries as a result of the crash; he was transported to Ocean Medical Center in Brick Township, where he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.
Arendt was transported to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune where he was treated for his injuries and released.
Pam remained on the scene and did not require medical attention.
An investigation revealed that a verbal altercation had occurred between Pam and Arendt which precipitated the motor vehicle crash, and that Pam’s reckless driving was the cause of this crash – resulting in Avon’s death, the prosecutor said.
On June 12, 2022, Pam was charged and subsequently processed at Lakewood Township Police Headquarters.
He was transported to the Ocean County Jail and later released as a result of New Jersey Bail Reform.
