Man Charged In Connection To Accident That Killed Pa. Turnpike Worker

/ CBS Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – A man has been charged in the death of a worker on the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

The accident happened months ago, but the announcement was made Tuesday.

Police say the suspect, Efrain Jensen, caused reckless driving in the accident that killed the worker.

The suspect was arraigned on vehicular homicide and several other charges earlier on Tuesday.

Police say that on June 1, 2014, the suspect was operating a tractor-trailer in the westbound lanes of the turnpike.

Around 8 that morning, Jensen entered into the closed lane of a work zone and struck two maintenance workers.

William F. McGuigan, a Turnpike employee was killed in that crash.

A Chester County prosecutor says Jensen has been cooperative and is showing remorse. He's expected to be free on bail this afternoon.
