Newark – The Delaware State Police have charged 47 year old Zun Kebei, of New Castle, with multiple counts of vehicular assault and DUI, as a result of a motor vehicle crash that occurred Friday night.

The incident occurred at approximately 9:52 p.m., Friday, April 5, 2019 at the intersection of Limestone Rd. (DE Rt. 7) and Paper Mill Rd. (DE Rt. 72), in Newark. A 2017 Cadillac being driven by a 55 year old Marlton NJ woman, was traveling southbound on Limestone Rd., proceeding through the intersection with Paper Mill Rd., with a green light. A 2003 Toyota Camry being driven by Kebei was travelling on Paper Mill Rd. and proceeded into the intersection with Limestone Rd., against a red light, striking the right side of the Cadillac. Both vehicles came to rest in the intersection after the collision.

Upon arriving on scene, EMS personnel located Kebei’s 7 month old child in the vehicle, not in a car seat. The child was transported to A.I. DuPont Hospital for Children with non-life threatening injuries. The investigation determined that the child was not restrained at the time of the collision. The investigation also determined that Kebei, who was not injured, was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the collision.

The driver of the Cadillac along with two passengers, an adult male and an adult female, were all transported to the Christiana Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

• Vehicular Assault 2^nd Degree (3 counts)
