Red Bull Delivery Truck Crashes, Driver Charged With Drunk Driving: Wall Police

WALL, NJ -- The driver of a Red Bull delivery truck has been charged with driving while intoxicated after the truck crashed near Allaire State Park on Friday, Wall Township police said Monday.

Nicholas Skokos, 28, of Ocean Grove, was the sole occupant of the 2015 Ford delivery box truck when it crashed on Atlantic Avenue about 3:40 p.m., Lt. Greg Carpino said. The truck, which was southbound, left the road and hit a utility pole, then hit the park fence before coming to rest between two trees, he said.

Skokos suffered minor injuries and was taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center, Neptune, by Wall EMS, Carpino said. Skokos was later charged with driving while intoxicated, he said.

Atlantic Avenue was closed in both directions while JCPL replaced the utility pole. South Wall Fire Department responded to the scene to assist and the state Department of Transportation assisted with traffic control.

Patrolman Anthony Lacher was the responding officer, Carpino said.
