"Prosecutors say the crash happened at about 3:21 a.m. on August 18, 2023, as Croswell headed south on Court Street at roughly 60 miles per hour. They allege he ran three consecutive steady red lights before entering the intersection of Court Street and Atlantic Avenue at an estimated 62 miles per hour and T-boning a westbound car that had the right of way, killing front-seat passenger 21-year-old Shanti Joyner."
"According to prosecutors, Croswell got out of his vehicle after the collision and pulled his 24-year-old girlfriend from the passenger seat as his car later caught fire. They allege he then attempted to leave the scene, dragging her for about a block and a half while asking passing motorists if they were Uber drivers, before police found him on Pacific Street."
