A Brooklyn, New York man was charged with assault by auto
and driving while intoxicated after injuring two construction workers along the
New Jersey Turnpike near Lawnside early Wednesday morning, according to state
police from the Moorestown station.
On March 18 around 2:20 a.m., Brian Seymour, 41, was
traveling northbound on the Turnpike near milepost 28.5 when he crashed his
2011 Mercedes-Benz into a construction vehicle that was in the left shoulder,
according to state police.
The two construction workers injured as a result of the
crash were on the rear lift of a truck and in the process of picking up
signs, authorities said.
The two workers sustained non-life-threatening injuries
and were taken to Virtua Memorial Hospital, in Mount Holly, and Cooper
University Hospital.
Seymour was arrested without incident and charged with DWI,
assault by auto and driving while suspended and causing serious bodily injury.
State police couldn't immediately say if speeding was a factor,
as the incident remains under investigation.
