Reckless drunk driver crashes car killing two, yet he is FREE TO GO under NJ Bail Reform

Reckless drunk driver crashes car killing two, yet he is FREE TO GO under NJ Bail Reform

Apr 2, 2018 | Criminal Justice System, New Jersey |

“A man facing two counts of death by auto was drunk and driving recklessly when he caused the Jersey City crash that claimed the lives of two Union City residents last month, authorities said. Alex Torres, 32, of Union City, was driving with a suspended license on Feb. 11 at the time of the crash that killed Mario Guevara, 25, and Heather Acosta, 24, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez announced today. Torres surrendered to police Tuesday afternoon and made his first court appearance on the charges today. During the hearing, Hudson County Assistant Prosecutor Lynne Seborowski said Torres’ blood alcohol concentration showed he was intoxicated at the time of the crash. Torres is also charged with three counts of assault by auto for three others who were injured in the two-car crash at 3:20 a.m. on Tonnelle Avenue between Manhattan Avenue and North Street. … Torres will be released with conditions of supervision including reporting to pretrial services every week, alternating between reporting by phone and in person. As conditions of his release, he was ordered not to drive and to refrain from excessive use of alcohol.”
