WARSAW — The driver involved in a fatal accident that also injured numerous other people last month is now facing drunk driving charges.
The crash involved a northbound 2024 Black Tesla and a Southbound 2007 Black Chevy Tahoe on CR 150W at about 5:30 p.m., June 29.
Vehicles included a southbound Black Chevy Tahoe operated by Joseph Criswell, 44, of Milford, who died at the scene.
A northbound Black Tesla operated by Anish Daita, 31, of Warsaw, sustained serious injuries in the collision.
