Everett Clayton, 56, was arrested in Boston last month for homicide by vehicle and related charges stemming from an accident that happened in Lower Providence Township in late August.
Investigators said Clayton was driving on the 500 block of South Park Avenue when he lost control of his dump truck and crashed head-on into a pregnant 31 year old Kellie Adams of Lansdale, who died at the scene.
Emersyn Grace Adams, the daughter she and Upper Providence firefighter Jason Adams were expecting, was delivered stillborn sometime later and pronounced dead at the hospital.
Authorities found his blood alcohol content at the time of the crash was .076, just below the legal limit for a non CDL holder. The legal limit for a CDL holder is 0.04bac.
The new charges stem from video evidence recently unveiled by a joint investigation between county and municipal law enforcement agencies, the DA said.Â
The video was recorded from Clayton’s cell phone, which was fixed to the dashboard and being used as a dash camera.
Clayton is now charged with one count of third-degree murder and one count of third-degree murder of an unborn child.
He’s held at the Montgomery County jail, his bond is set at $500,000 court records show.Â
