Daily News | A South Jersey woman pleaded guilty to murder for causing a crash that killed a firefighter
A South Jersey woman pleaded guilty Thursday to causing a crash on I-76 last summer that killed a Lower Merion firefighter and wounded three other people.
District Attorney Kevin Steele said Walker showed “sustained recklessness” on the day of the crash, and that her actions justified the murder charge. Walker swerved onto the highway’s shoulder, between the fire trucks and the concrete barrier at the edge of the roadway, the affidavit said. She struck three firefighters from Belmont Hills Fire Department who had been standing on the shoulder, as well as a state trooper.
Despite this, prosecutors say, no alcohol was detected in Walker’s blood during a later exam, and she was not charged with DUI.In an interview with investigators, Walker said she had left her home in Egg Harbor Township hours earlier, heading to a mall in Quakertown, according to the affidavit. She said she got lost as she tried to find her way home, and at one point stopped to purchase rum, which she poured into a soda she had been drinking.
Investigators later discovered that Walker’s trip had taken a more circuitous route than she described: She had been stopped three times by officers from three different New Jersey police departments in the two and a half hours before the crash.
