Summary
Three new involuntary manslaughter counts and one reckless driving charge were added Monday against Jing Sheng Dong, 48, after prosecutors initially filed two manslaughter counts over Friday’s fatal I-95 crash.
Authorities say Dong’s motorcoach hit vehicles slowed in a work zone while traveling from New York to North Carolina, triggering a chain-reaction wreck that killed five people and injured dozens.
Five victims included a family of four from Greenfield, Massachusetts, headed to a wedding, and a 25-year-old woman from Worcester, Massachusetts.
72 mph in a 50 mph zone in Maryland and 73 mph in a 55 mph zone in Virginia are among Dong’s recent speeding cases; prosecutors said he will be taken to jail after leaving the hospital.
