If New Jersey police determine that the driver of a vehicle that caused a car accident was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, this can lead to the individual facing criminal charges. If an individual dies as a result of the car accident, this can further add the criminal and civil liability for the driver suspected of being under the influence if those allegations are proved in court. A man, who already is facing criminal charges as a result of an accident, now faces vehicular homicide charges after one of the occupants of another other vehicle succumbed to her injuries.
