Police spoke to a driver then released him the evening after police said his pickup truck into a Bucks County home Friday — a woman who was laying in a hospice bed died after the wreck.
Jenny Russo was in bed around 2:30 a.m. near the part of the home, located at the corner of Redbrook and Rolling lanes in Levittown, where the pickup truck struck after the driver lost control, police said.
Tire tracks could be seen on the home's lawn.
Russo, who turned 93 Friday, died a few hours after the crash occurred. Her cause of death wasn't immediately clear but her son thinks the crash contributed to his mother's demise.
"How you gonna live with yourself, you probably thought you just did damage to her house, but you probably — I'm not saying you killed her — but you led to my mom's death," said Ron Russo.
