Perrella
GOSHEN – The New Jersey man, who was driving a car that rolled over on Glenwood Road in Pine Island and crashed into a house killing two passengers, has been charged in a 24-count indictment.
Killed in the crash of the car driven by Christopher Perrella, 32, of Vernon, New Jersey, were Emily Carwile, 36, of Vernon and Jessica Dussault, 30, of Hopatcong, New Jersey. Perrella and another passenger, Joseph Giordano, 32, were injured.
Perrella was charged with four counts each of aggravated vehicular homicide and vehicular manslaughter, two counts of manslaughter and eight counts of vehicular manslaughter, and four counts of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
“Fatalities caused by those who drive while impaired by alcohol or other substances are as tragic as they are preventable,” said Orange County District Attorney David Hoovler.
Orange County Court Judge Robert Freehill set bail at $50,000 cash or $100,000
bond.
