A New Jersey man pleaded not guilty Wednesday after being charged with two counts each of aggravated manslaughter and vehicular homicide in connection with a Monday car crash that left a 48-year-old science teacher and his 5-year-old daughter dead.
Prosecutors allege that before the crash, Scott Hahn, 36, had taken 10 Adderall pills and not slept for 24 hours . He was going between 50 and 70 miles per hour when he rear-ended another car on an extension of the New Jersey Turnpike near Jersey City, NBC 4 New York reports.
Police say Hahn, who worked as a server at Cracker Barrel, did not have a prescription for the drug, which can be prescribed for attention deficit disorder in smaller doses.
Tim O'Donnell, a beloved high school science teacher , was pronounced dead on the scene at 3:41 p.m. Monday, while his daughter died in a hospital shortly afterward, according to NJ.com.
O'Donnell is survived by his wife, who recently beat cancer , and a 6-year-old daughter.
NJ.com reports that according to the criminal complaint , Hahn was sideswiping barriers and driving across lanes.
The Hudson County prosecutor's office did not return a request for comment.
