NEW CASTLE, DE – Earlier this month, authorities arrested a New Castle County bartender in connection to fatal collision that happened late last year.
According to NBC 10 Philadelphia, the crash occurred around 1 a.m. on Saturday, November 15th, at the intersection of US-40, or the North Dupont Highway, and Christina Road in New Castle.
Police say that Ashley Wright was impaired when she lost control of her southbound Lexus ES 350 and rear-ended a Kenworth 18-wheeler.
The impact of the crash ejected and fatally injured a rear passenger from the Lexus.
Wright was arrested after being treated for non-life-threatening injuries at an area hospital.
