Pennsylvania Woman Faces DWI Count in Fatal Interstate Crash

State Police in New Jersey say a Pennsylvania woman was driving drunk when her minivan crashed on an interstate highway, killing a man and injuring a teenage boy.

The crash occurred just before noon Saturday on eastbound I-78 in Clinton.

A state police spokesman says the minivan driven by 35-year-old Tiasha Falu, of Reading, went off the left side of the roadway and spun around before it overturned and re-entered the eastbound roadway.

Ariel Lozano, a 32-year-old Reading man sitting in a rear seat, was ejected and pronounced dead at the scene. A 16-year-old Reading boy sitting in the front-seat was hospitalized with ``moderate'' injuries.

Falu was charged with drunken driving and may face other counts once the investigation concludes. A telephone number for her could not be located Sunday.
