Pleasantville Man Sentenced for Fatal 2021 Crash in Egg Harbor Twp., NJ
A 32-year-old man from Pleasantville has been sentenced for a crash in Egg Harbor Township last year that claimed the life of a man who was trying to walk across a road.
According to the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office, Michael Doyle was sentenced to eight years in state prison for vehicular homicide and five for endangering the welfare of a child.
It was on the morning of September 27th, 2021, that Doyle failed to stop for a red light at the Black Horse Pike and English Creek Avenue.
Doyle struck and killed 33-year-old Anthony Swezeny, who worked at a local Outback Steakhouse restaurant, as he was crossing the highway. He then collided with a van being driven by Joseph Avellino of Egg Harbor Township.
Authorities say at the time of the crash, Doyle, who had another adult and a 2-year-old child in the vehicle with him, was under the influence of Fentanyl, Morphine, Alprazolam, Methadone, Codeine, and THC.
