Horsham Man Pleads Guilty in Fatal Welsh Road Accident

A Horsham man has pleaded guilty to homicide by vehicle charges stemming from a fatal accident on Welsh Road in July, according to court records.

Dylan Bruner, 28, could face 10 to 20 years in prison, the Intelligencer reported. His sentencing was delayed, the publication reported.

Officials say Bruner was driving his car more than 20 miles an hour over the posted speed limit of 45 miles per hour when he attempted to pass two cars ahead of him in a no-passing zone. Bruner’s Mitsubishi Lancer collided head-on with a Toyota Camry, killing 69-year-old Maureen Chapman of New Britain and seriously injuring her husband, who was driving.

Bruner attempted to apply his breaks to avoid the collision and skidded 82 feet before hitting the sedan head-on, the police investigation revealed. Witnesses told police that just before the crash, they saw Bruner try to pass two cars illegally. He also ran a red light, witnesses told police.
