The driver of a 2009  BMW could face charges in the future , stemming from a fatal accident late last night, June 23, 2022 . This crash claimed the life of off duty Philadelphia Police Officer Henry Gonski, of the northeast.  Police said the BMW  with three 0ccupants in it was speeding south on Bustleton Avenue and the officer was driving west on Rennard when the crash happened.

 

There were reports that since none of the occupants of the striking vehicle sustained injuries they were released to family members without charges.  When it comes to accident case,  most of the time, charges are filed months after the crash. The investigation had to be completed . Part of the investigation are math computations to determine speed,  skid marks to determine evasive action and other  evidence gathered at the scene. Police said it is normal not to charge someone immediately.
