2nd Suspect Pleads Guilty To Third Degree Murder In 422 Racing Crash

NORRISTOWN, PA — A second suspect in the fatal Route 422 racing crash has pleaded guilty to third-degree murder in connection with the May incident, just a week after another driver pleaded guilty.

Shone Santiago, 22, of New York City, was racing Evaughn-Sha Antonio Walters, 21, at speeds in excess of 140 miles per hour when he crashed and killed his three passengers: Anthony Rodriguez, 23, Marissa Kelly, 20, and Kelly's unborn child, the DA's office said.

Santiago lost control of his BWM and crashed through a guard rail, landing the car on its hood at the bottom of a ravine, officials said.

The speed limit on that section of 422, which is a work zone, is 40 miles per hour.

Both Santiago and Walters are awaiting sentencing, which is expected in the next two to three months.

Walters faces charges of homicide by vehicle.
