Jersey City,NJ : Truck driver cuts plea deal in fatal crash on Route 440 on February, Thursday 8th 2018

A truck driver accepted a plea deal Thursday in a September crash that killed one and injured four, authorities said.

Aleksander Isserovich, 39, of Brooklyn, New York, was under the influence when he rear-ended a Hyundai Sonata, killing the driver on the southbound side of Route 440 in Perth Amboy on Sept. 6, Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew Carey said in a release.

The tractor-trailer then jackknifed and hit two other cars, and the SUV was pushed into another car.

Jason Appio, 45, of Ocean Township, was later pronounced dead at Raritan Bay Medical Center in Perth Amboy. Isserovich and three others were taken to the hospital for minor injuries.

Isserovich is expected to be sentenced to seven years in prison in exchange for pleading guilty to one count of death by auto, three counts of assault by auto and driving while under the influence of controlled substances, according to the release.

His sentencing is set for May 18, 2018, before Superior Court Judge Michael Toto.
