DUI Driver’s Headlights Were Off In Fatal Rt. 611 Crash: Police

Charges have been filed against a Montgomery County man who police say ran a red light with his headlights off when he was allegedly drunk during a fatal crash on Rt. 611 last month. The wreck killed his friend, a Bucks County resident. 

Corey Adam Mitchell, 26, of Souderton was allegedly driving northbound on Easton Road Dec. 27 when he entered the left turn lane to turn left onto County Line Road, investigators said. His headlights were turned off. Even though the light was red, Mitchell tried to turn onto County Line, cutting in front of an incoming tractor-trailer, which was unable to stop in time, police said.
