PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Pennsylvania State Police say a woman was intoxicated while using a partially automated driving system when she caused a March highway crash in Philadelphia that killed two people. Authorities say Ford Mustang Mach-E driver Dimple Patel turned herself in Tuesday to face multiple charges, including two counts of homicide. Investivators say Patel struck a stationary vehicle on the shoulder of I-95, causing a crash that killed two people. Investigators believe Patel was using both a hands-free driving feature and cruise control. Her lawyer didn’t immediately return a phone message seeking comment. It’s at least the second crash this year involving a Mach-E striking a stationary vehicle that the NTSB has investigated.
