Officials said a man has been arrested and charged in connection with a fatal crash in Camden County in April.

Shortly before 3:30 p.m. on April 16, Pennsauken Police Department officers were called to a crash on the south side of the 9000 block of Crescent Boulevard involving a car and a semi-truck, according to the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office.

At the scene, police determined the car had crashed into the bed of the tractor-trailer, officials said.

The driver of the vehicle was identified as Gage Patton, 20, and was taken to a nearby hospital, police said. The passenger in the car, 20-year-old Sean Hill, was trapped in the car and was eventually pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the semi-truck was uninjured, police said.

According to police, an investigation into the accident revealed that Patton was driving at a high rate of speed before the car collided with the back of the tractor-trailer.

The district attorney’s office said Patton was charged with one count of second-degree vehicular manslaughter and that he was issued several vehicular violation citations. He was arrested on Tuesday.
