An 18-year-old North Bergen man was hospitalized in critical condition Wednesday after he crashed his mother’s car into a telephone pole shortly before dawn on New Year’s Day, police and hospital officials said.
Bergen County Prosecutor John J. Fahy said Paul Ghibesi will be charged with having an open container of beer in the car, possessing alcohol while being under age, and driving a car after his driver’s license had been revoked.
“He has not been charged with DWI,” Fahy said. “The investigation is continuing as whether that charge would be brought. ”
Fahy said it was also unclear whether Ghibesi had been speeding.
Two passengers in the car, James Lucarelli of Guttenberg and Robert Baker, visiting from North Carolina, suffered minor injuries. Baker, 18, was in good condition at Hackensack Medical Center. Lucarelli, also 18, was in satisfactory condition at Englewood Hospital. Ghibesi was being treated at Hackensack Medical Center.
The crash occurred about 4:50 a.m. on Broad Avenue, at the intersection of Prospect Avenue, when Ghibesi lost control of the car and crashed into the pole, Fahy said.
