- The police officers have charged an Enola man with homicide by vehicle while DUI after that he had a crash on Sunday as a result of which a 22-year-old Stuart Antonio Bingham Jr. of Mechanicsburg has been killed.
It has been said by East Pennsboro Township police on Monday that Richard Jones, 52, of the 100 block of South Enola Drive, had been driving on only a front rim when he had ran a red light and his vehicle struck Bingham’s.
It has been said by Lt. Mark Green that the Forensic tests have not yet been finished but debris and some run-over mailboxes have been found by investigators along Valley Street and it has been believed by them that Jones hit them before heading out on Wertzville Road.
It has been said by the Cumberland County Chief Deputy Coroner Todd Eckenrode that Bingham was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.
It had happened at 5:30 p.m. at Wertzville Road and Center Street.
