Involuntary manslaughter charges for man who killed two in DUI crash
Posted on Jan 26, 2010
A man accused of killing two people while intoxicated has been charged with two counts involuntary manslaughter and drunken driving. The man, Christopher D. Dockiewicz, 44, hit the couple’s vehicle, which was headed north on Princess Ann Road in the middle of the afternoon.
The two people in the other car were pinned inside their vehicle. Firefighters and paramedics tried to save them, but to no avail. The driver, Anthony Tonking, 74, died at a Virginia Beach hospital from injuries sustained in the crash. His wife, Mary Jean Tonking, 72, died at the scene of the accident. Both were wearing their seatbelts when the accident happened.
According to police, Dockiewicz had been speeding and passing other cars before the crash. At the time of the accident he had lost control of his vehicle on a sharp turn, veering into oncoming traffic and hitting the Tonkings.
Dockiewicz was also taken to the hospital to be treated for his injuries, where he was guarded by sherriff’s deputies. He was later transferred to city jail and denied bond. The involuntary manslaughter charges against Dockiewicz are felony charges that could put him behind bars for ten years.
The accident is still under investigation.
