Norristown Man Faces Charges in Fatal High-Speed Collision in 25 MPH Zone

by Local News Report

An incident on February 26th that resulted in the death of Katty Campos ended today with the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office announcing that Adan Ortiz-Gonzalez of Norristown now faces homicide by vehicle charges along with accused involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment for that crash.

Investigators stated that Ortiz-Gonzalez was traveling at 60 mph in a 25-mph zone when his vehicle collided with Campos’ car at the East Brown and Dekalb streets intersection.

The impact pushed Campos’ Nissan Sentra across the intersection and into a tree on the driver’s side. The 37-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene, while Ortiz-Gonzalez and his three young passengers sustained injuries and were taken to a local hospital for treatment.

Following a detailed analysis, detectives concluded that had Ortiz-Gonzalez been adhering to the 25-mph speed limit, the fatal collision might have been avoided altogether as the Sentra would have cleared the intersection without incident.

Ortiz-Gonzalez turned himself in on Tuesday, and was granted a $50,000 unsecured bail. A condition of his release prohibits him from driving.
