Stoned Driver Going 100 MPH Caused Fatal Delco Crash: Police

NEWTOWN SQUARE, PA — The driver in a deadly July crash in Newtown Square was going more than 100 miles per hour and high on marijuana when he caused the crash, police said.

Terrence Weh, 28, of Upper Darby, is charged with homicide by vehicle while DUI, homicide by vehicle, DUI, recklessly endangering another person, possession of marijuana, careless driving, and related crimes in connection with a deadly July 14 crash on West Chester Pike.

The crash killed Marcellinus Madu, 41, of Philadelphia.

Newtown Township Police were called to the 3500 block of West Chester Pike in Newtown Square at about 7 a.m. July 14 for a crash.

Police said a 2015 BMW sedan driven by Weh crashed into a 2017 Mitsubishi driven by Madu.

When police arrived, they found both vehicles heavily damaged, and Madu dead and entrapped in the Mitsubishi.

Weh was around the scene with injuries and was taken to Paoli Hospital, police said.

Investigators learned Weh was driving more than 100 miles per hour at the time of the crash, police said.

Additionally, toxicology results of Weh's blood sample obtained shortly after the crash showed that Weh had THC levels in his blood which would render him incapable of safely operating a motor vehicle, police said.

Police said the speeding and THC in his system were significant factors in the deadly crash.

Weh was taken into custody on Sept. 5 and held after failing to post $750,000 bail, according to court records.

He is scheduled for a Sept. 18 preliminary hearing.
