<h2><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: 20pt;">The Delaware State Police released the names of the operator hit by William T German as Jacquelyn Scott-Crothers and the </span><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: 20pt;">passenger that died in the fatal crash east of Bear, as John Crothers.</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">BEAR, DELAWARE – A Pennsylvania man with a traffic record of mayhem and madness, combined with weak prosecutors in court remained on the road when he should have been in jail; now he is charged with killing a Bear man when he blew a red light at a high rate of speed on US 40.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Delaware State Police reports that their Collision Reconstruction Unit is investigating a fatal motor vehicle crash that occurred on June 18, 2017.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The preliminary investigation has determined the incident occurred around 2:35 p.m. Sunday, June 18, 2017, as a 61-year-old female from Newark, was operating a 2011 Kia Soul with a 74-year-old male passenger, turning left from US 40 westbound onto Glendale Boulevard southbound.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Police say that this vehicle had the green arrow signal and the right of way. Traffic in the straight lanes of US 40 in both directions was stopped for a red traffic signal. A 2011 Kia Optima was operated by William T. German, 25, of Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania and police say German was traveling at a reported high rate of speed on the right shoulder of US 40 eastbound.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The shoulder became the right turn lane for Glendale Boulevard and William T. German proceeded straight into the intersection against the red light. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The front of the Kia Optima struck the right side of the Kia Soul in the area of the front wheel and passenger door. Both vehicles traveled eastbound from the collision and the Kia Soul came to a stop on the lanes of US 40 eastbound. The Kia Optima came to a stop on the grass southeast of the intersection.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The 74-year-old male of Newark was properly restrained and removed from the scene by EMS and transported to the Christiana Hospital where he was pronounced deceased from injuries sustained in this collision. The 61-year-old driver was admitted to the ICU at Christiana Hospital with serious injuries. The names are being withheld pending next of kin notification.</span></p>
<blockquote>
<h2><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: 20pt;">Drugs are suspected on German’s part and he will be charged with vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, and DUI upon release from the hospital.</span></h2>

<p> ;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">William T. German, who was properly restrained, was removed by EMS and transported to the Christiana Hospital where he was admitted with minor injuries. Drugs are suspected on German’s part and he will be charged with vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, and DUI upon release from the hospital.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Collision Reconstruction Unit is continuing their investigation into the crash. US 40 eastbound at Glendale Boulevard were closed for approximately three hours while the crash was investigated and cleared.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Magisterial District Court records for Delaware County, Pa. reveals that on Sept. 23, 2014, German faced charges of making terroristic threats, trespassing, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. In a plea deal, German entered a guilty plea on Sept. 25, 2014, to criminal trespass and disorderly conduct while the other charges were dropped.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">German entered a guilty plea to failing to obey the rules of the Penn. Turnpike Commission in May of 2017.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">German entered a guilty plea to speeding while a charge of exceeding the speed limit by 38 mph was changed on Jan. 24, 2017. An additional charge of reckless driving was dropped by prosecutors, along with a charge of following too closely. German filed a guilty plea to failing to provide required signals and failing to keep right.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">On June 1, 2017, German entered a guilty plea to failing to obey a traffic signal.</span></p>
