EHT, NJ, Woman Charged With DWI, Assault By Auto Following Crash

The Egg Harbor Township Police Department says a woman is facing DWI and assault by auto charges after a crash on the Black Horse Pike Sunday night.

The accident happened in the area of the Fernwood Avenue intersection around 9:00.

According to authorities, a Toyota RAV4 being driven by 60-year-old Binge Fan of Uncasville, CT, was traveling west on the Pike when it was struck from behind by a Honda Accord, operated by 21-year-old Sarita Hossain of Egg Harbor Township.

The on-scene investigation revealed that Ms. Hossain was traveling west on the Black Horse Pike at a high rate of speed. She struck the rear driver’s side of Mr. Fan’s vehicle. This caused his vehicle to spin off of the roadway into the wooded area on the westbound side of the Black Horse Pike. Her vehicle then crossed over the center median and came to rest in the wooded area on the eastbound side of the Black Horse Pike.

The occupants of the RAV4 sustained minor injuries and were taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center-Mainland Campus for treatment.
