Jeff Cole at Fox 29 in
Philadelphia reports that the driver who killed three people and injured one is
being charged with homicide.
SOUTH PHILADELPHIA (WTXF) -
The driver involved in a crash that left three people dead and another
critically injured in South Philadelphia on Wednesday is now facing charges.
Keith Campbell, 29, has been
charged with three counts of homicide by vehicle along with other related
charges. Sources tell FOX 29’s Jeff Cole more charges could be filed.
FOX 29 has learned the
police force of tiny Newport, Delaware—South of Wilmington—is investigating the
events leading up to the fatal crash. Delaware State Police tell
FOX 29 it “assisted Newport with an attempted vehicle stop” in the hours
before the collision.
Three people are dead and two
people are critically injured following a head-on crash in South Philadelphia.
State Police directed
FOX 29 to Newport police where Corporal John Mitchell said there is
“an on-going investigation” and it is working with Philadelphia police
accident investigators on the case.
"There was no one else
in the vehicle, so supposition is he stabbed himself," Philadelphia
Police
Captain Mark Overwise said.
Police say Campbell was
suffering from multiple stab wounds as he drove down the 600 block of Packer
Avenue just before 2 a.m. Wednesday morning when he struck an Acura SUV head
on.
Three of the Acura's four
passengers — identified as 36-year-old Joseph Ferry of South Philadelphia,
35-year-old Kelly Wiseley of Glenolden, and 31-year-old Dennis Palandro of
Morton — were killed. Ferry and Wiseley just got engaged over
the holidays.

life. My heart goes out to them.
