The father of the driver involved in a crash that killed two people in Wildwood told NJ Advance Media that this was not the first time his son has been in a serious crash.
White was at the wheel of a 2003 Infiniti that struck a 2014 Honda Civic, then two pedestrians at Burk and Atlantic avenues shortly after 9:30 p.m., authorities said. A pedestrian, Lindsay Weakland, 18, of Carlisle, Pennsylvania and a Civic passenger, Timothy Ogden, 34, of Clayton, died from their injuries.
His son recently flipped a Pontiac Supercharger while going 80 miles per hour on a highway. “He went airborne, then came down and smacked the barrier twice,” the older White said. He did not say where that crash occurred. Although listed as living in Pittsburgh, the son, Gerald J. White, is currently living in Delaware with his girlfriend and young children, his father said. A recent ticket from Pennsylvania lists a Delaware address.
Before that, White was charged with driving with a suspended license in 2013 and 2011. It’s unclear what led to the four suspensions.
