Harrisburg, PA : Driver in fiery crash to surrender Wednesday on vehicular homicide charges on Wednesday, 14th September 2016
The driver in a fiery crash that killed three passengers is expected to surrender Wednesday afternoon on vehicular homicide charges in Bethlehem Township.
Terrell Barclay is scheduled to appear at 2 p.m. before District Judge Patricia Broscius for a preliminary arraignment. Police said Barclay suffered severe burns and his body and face are significantly disfigured. He is expected to be driven to court Wednesday by a family member.
Barclay faces three counts of homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence, three counts DUI, possession of marijuana, driving without a proper license and other motor vehicle and traffic violations.
Barclay, 27, of Orange, New Jersey, is the lone survivor in the 1:22 a.m. May 6 crash that took the lives of three passengers. He allegedly struck three parked cars while speeding on Willow Park Road.
Killed were Amanda Martin, 26, of New Ringgold, Schuylkill County; Ashlee Mosher, 29, of Easton; and Joshua Edwards, 28, of Easton. Police said they didn't know the three were in the car until after the township fire department put out the intense flames sparked by the crash.
Barclay emerged on fire from the rented 2015 Chrysler 200 sedan and was seen by witnesses running across the street. He was later placed into a medically-induced coma at Lehigh Valley Hospital Cedar-Crest in Salisbury Township before being moved on July 27 to the Easton Health & Rehabilitation Center, according to Inspector Tony Stevens.

Barclay was charged on Sept. 9 and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Police keep tabs on him and continue to check in with Barclay and his family, Stevens said.
Blood testing put Barclay's blood-alcohol content 90 minutes after the crash at 0.19; penalties begin for most drivers at a BAC of 0.08. He allegedly also had THC, the intoxicant in marijuana, in his system.
Barclay was driving while his New Jersey and Pennsylvania licenses were both suspended, police said. A .40-caliber Taurus Millennium handgun found in the road where Barclay left the burning car was stolen from Plainfield Township.
Authorities spent months gathering evidence from the crash scene.
