Stephen M. Karwowski, of Elmer was driving a pickup in Pennsville on Dec. 4, 2021, when he struck a car driven by Genita Townsend, 52, the outlet said. Townsend, of Pennsville, was pronounced dead at the scene of the five-vehicle crash.
An investigation found that Karwowski’s blood-alcohol level was above the legal limit, and he apparently admitted to driving 60 to 65 mph before the crash in an area where the speed limit is 40 mph, NJ.com says.
Townsend was born in the Philippines and is survived by her husband Kenny Townsend; parents, Brad & Carole Gilson; children Sheila Williams (Alton), Genelyn Wilson, Jelou Salinay, Limuel Orbita Jr. and Limuel Orbita III, and a host of grandchildren, according to her obituary.
Townsend's Facebook page shows she previously lived in Annapolis, MD.
