New Jersey: Impound Charge Imposed on Crash Victim Family
The family of a fatal accident is being charged an impound fee for the vehicle in which their teenage son died.

John Burzichelli
Police in Bellmawr, New Jersey wants Bob and Kathy Corsini to pay $640.90 in impound fees because a lot has stored the vehicle in which Kathy's eighteen-year-old son Daniel Mackay was killed in a tragic accident on June 4. Daniel's 1992 Honda, driven by a family friend, crashed on I-295.

Police handed the damaged Honda over to Paul's Towing which imposed fees of $245 for storage, $225 for recovery, $95 for towing, $45 for labor and $30.90 for tax. Each day the car stayed there, the total bill increased.

State Assemblyman John Burzichelli now wants legislation to impose a 30-day moratorium on such fees for the families of fatal accident victims.
