BUENA VISTA, NJ – A man is facing charges of driving while intoxicated in connection to a fatal ATV accident last year in Buena Vista, according to NJ.com.
The accused is Buena Vista man Michael Brown, who is facing charges of leaving the scene of a fatal accident, receiving stolen property, and vehicular homicide. He was arrested Wednesday in Camden County, according to police reports.
