Charges filed in crash that killed Lower Merion High School principal
54-year-old Azuka Ossai is charged with vehicular homicide in the crash that killed 51-year-old Sean Hughes. Hughes' young son was also injured in the incident.
CAMDEN, N.J. - A New Jersey man is facing charges in a deadly crash that killed a Pennsylvania school principal and injured his young son last fall in Camden County.
The Camden County Prosecutor's Office on Thursday charged 54-year-old Azuka Ossai with vehicular homicide and a fourth-degree count of assault by auto in the Nov. 13 crash that killed 51-year-old Sean Hughes.
Hughes, who spent more than a decade as an educator in the Lower Merion School District, was the principal of Lower Merion High School.
Hughes and his young son were on their way to a soccer game in Windslow Township when investigators believe Ossai sped through a stop sign at the intersection of Fleming Pike and Hays Road and slammed into Hughes' Ford SUV.
