Wife of Motorcyclist Who Died In June Crash Sues Teen Driver and Teen's Father: Police

The wife of the motorcyclist who was killed in crash with a teen driver in June is now suing the driver and her father, who owned the car his daughter was operating, according to the Daily Record.

The 17-year-old female from Denville hit Richard Bianculli, 46, on Route 15 on June 21. Bianculli was given CPR at the scene of the accident and was then transported to St. Clare's Dover Hospital. He was pronounced dead later that evening from multiple blunt force injuries within minutes of the crash, according to the death certificate and the Daily Record.

Pauline Bianculli was married to her husband for 27 years. On Wednesday, her lawsuit against the teenager and her father was made public in Superior Court, Morristown, the Daily Record reports.

The Daily Record reports that the teenager hasn't been charged with any criminal offenses, but she was issued motor vehicle summonses for failing to have required decals on the car's license plates that indicate a teenage driver, for having three other teenagers in the car, and for making an unsafe lane change.

In New Jersey, drivers who hold a probationary license have a minimum of one year restricted, but unsupervised driving, states stage.nj.us. A driver with a probationary license can only drive with one other passenger, unless a parent or guardian is also in the vehicle.

The lawsuit alleges that the teenager driver's father knew she was driving in violation of the New Jersey's graduated license law, reports the Daily Record.

According to the Governors Highway Association, the graduated license law has three stages. The beginning stage is the learner stage, which is supervised driving, cumulating with a driving test. The intermediate stage means limiting unsupervised driving in high risk situations and the full privilege stage means a standard driver's license is issued.
