DUI driver was going more than 100 mph before crash that ejected passenger: police

A 20-year-old was under the influence and driving more than 100 mph last fall when he crashed into a utility pole, causing three passengers serious injuries, Lancaster County authorities said.

The force of the Nov. 24, 2022 crash on the 3000 block of Kissel Hill Road broke the pole and threw a backseat passenger from the vehicle, Manheim Township police said.

Spencer J. Campbell, of Lititz, told officers he lost control while going around a bend in the road around 2:30 a.m., according to police.

A crash reconstructionist estimated Campbell was going more than 108 mph in a 35 mph zone at the time of the crash. He also had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.06%, and controlled substances in his system, police said.

Campbell was charged with multiple counts of aggravated assault, DUI, reckless driving and related offenses. Police said he was released after posting $25,000 bail.
