TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - May 10, 2009
Police spokesman Pedro Medina said 49-year-old Gary Aust of
Fairless Hills, Pa. had just left a city bar when he struck Russell
W. Rackinson, an 86-year-old Trenton resident, around 7:15 p.m.
Saturday.
Rackinson died instantly at the scene, while Aust was taken to
the Capital Health System at Fuld Hospital in Trenton, where died
about three hours later. Witnesses said Aust was thrown into the
street after the motorcycle struck the utility pole.
Medina said it appears that alcohol played a major role in the
crash, which remains under investigation.
