Drew Bodden will face trial in connection with the Nov. 21 high-speed car crash on the Rt. 611 Bypass that killed Holly Huynh.
A Plumstead man accused of causing the car crash that killed a 9-year-old Central Bucks student will face a third-degree murder charge when he goes on trial at the Bucks County courthouse in March. District Judge Mark Douple on Wednesday held over all 11 charges filed by the district attorney's office against Drew Bodden, 38. After hours of testimony from police officers, eyewitnesses, and crash reconstruction experts, Bodden's defense attorney, Colin Jenei, argued only against the third-degree murder charge. Jenei told the judge that part of the criteria for murder in the third degree is to show a "wickedness of disposition and evil of heart," standards that he felt the testimony did not support. "The evidence shows acts comparable to a …

Doylestown officials praised Officer Jessica Whiteside for saving the life of Suzanne Berry after the car crash that killed Berry's granddaughter, Holly Huynh.
It was about 6:45 p.m. on the night before Thanksgiving, and Doylestown police had just been called about a car crash on the Rt. 611 Bypass. Doylestown Borough Police Officer Jessica Whiteside hurried to the scene. When she got there, she found a woman trapped in the driver's seat of a crumpled Honda CRV. The woman wasn't breathing. Whiteside didn't hesitate. A certified emergency medical technician, she crawled into the Honda and worked to establish an airway to help the woman breathe. She succeeded. And she stayed with the injured woman until paramedics from the Central Bucks Ambulance squad arrived and took over. The woman, later identified as Suzanne Berry, 55, of Plumstead, was airlifted to Temple University Hospital where she remains…

Bucks County prosecutors say a 37-year-old Plumstead man acted with malice when he caused a high-speed car crash on the Rt. 611 Bypass in Doylestown.
A man who loved speed was rocketing up the Rt. 611 Bypass in Doylestown at at least 142 miles an hour when he slammed his souped-up Mustang Cobra into another car on the night before Thanksgiving, the busiest travel day of the year. That's what Bucks County prosecutors will try to prove when they prosecute that driver, Drew Bodden, 37, for third-degree murder for causing the death of 9-year-old Holly Huynh. "A charge of murder in an auto crash is not particularly common. But then neither are the facts which our investigation have revealed about this horrific act," Bucks County District Attorney Dave Heckler said Thursday during a press conference to announce the charges. "That is the point of this case," Heckler said. "This was a …

Prosecutors and police said they will announce charges against a driver in the crash that killed a 9-year-old girl last month on the Rt. 611 Bypass in Doylestown.
Drew Bodden will be charged in connection with the Thanksgiving Eve crash that killed a 9-year-old Plumstead girl, officials said Wednesday. Bucks County District Attorney David Heckler said prosecutors and police will hold a press conference to announce those charges on Thursday. The announcement will take place at the Doylestown Township Police Department on Wells Road at 11 a.m., Heckler said in a statement. Sources close to the investigation said Bodden, 37, is expected to turn himself in to Doylestown Township police by Thursday. Court papers had not yet been filed by early Wednesday afternoon, so it was not clear exactly what charges the driver faces. Bodden, of Plumstead, was driving a Ford Mustang north on the Rt. 611 bypass on the…
