Julian Fleming Charged With Vehicular Homicide in Fatal Pennsylvania ATV Crash

He was released on $75,000 bond pending a preliminary hearing later this month.

Overview

  • Pennsylvania State Police filed multiple felony counts, including homicide by vehicle while DUI and aggravated assault by vehicle while DUI, along with DUI and related traffic offenses.
  • A state police affidavit says Fleming admitted drinking five or six beers, and a blood test measured his blood-alcohol content at .118, above the state’s .08 legal limit.
  • Investigators report the ATV struck a deer on May 23 in Columbia Township, where Alyssa Boyd, 23, was pronounced dead at the scene and Fleming sustained serious injuries.
  • Troopers documented deer hair on the ATV, and a witness estimated the vehicle was traveling 30 to 40 mph before hearing a pop followed by three banging sounds.
  • Police say neither occupant wore a helmet, and Fleming’s attorney contends the crash was an unavoidable tragedy rather than a crime.
