The 20-year-old son of a New Jersey fire chief has been arrested and charged with vehicular homicide and drunk driving after he allegedly crashed into a car carrying four people, killing a 16-year-old boy and a 21-year-old man.
Prosecutors say Harrison Allen, the son of Montclair Fire Chief Kevin Allen, was arrested in connection with the crash Tuesday night.
The two people who died were ejected from their car, and were not wearing seatbelts, and two others were seriously hurt.
Authorities said the two cars collided near South Fourth Street and Essex Avenue in Maplewood around 10 p.m.
Harrison Allen was in custody Wednesday. Prosecutors said he did not yet have a lawyer.
Kevin Allen did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
