Maria Molesky, 34, of Jersey City, is charged with aggravated assault and assault by auto, Suarez said in a statement.
She was arrested at the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office in Secaucus yesterday and transported to the Hudson County Correctional Facility pending her first court appearance.
At approximately 12:30 a.m. on November 15th, 2024, the Kearny Police Department was notified of a collision in the area of Newark-Jersey City Turnpike and Fish House Road.
Responding officers located a Jeep Compass, driven by Molesky, which had struck a Ford F-150. The driver of the Ford, a 56-year-old Pennsylvania male, suffered serious injuries.
During the preliminary investigation, the Kearny Police Department arrested Molesky and issued motor vehicle summonses for reckless driving and driving while intoxicated, authorities said.
