Thank you for putting this up. You're lightning fast.

This took place in Somerset County, Franklin Township, NJ 08873. I know there was a bit of confusion as to which 'Franklin' in NJ some articles were referring to.

The drunk driver pulled over to see what they hit. Tiffany's boyfriend said the driver was "really drunk". Him and the passenger walked over to her, and one of them said, "We're in deep trouble." Then, they ran back to the car and sped off.

There are a few bars around there, and given the time that this happen (around 1am) and the fact the bars close at 2am, there's a good chance they came from one of these bars.

Such a terrible tragedy. I hope that her boyfriend does not blame himself for this senseless act.

Brian McCauslin, 39, was given the maximum seven-year sentence for killing 23-year-old Tiffany Jantelle. He was also ordered to pay about $13,000 in restitution to the victim’s family...

In a plea deal with prosecutors, McCauslin pleaded guilty to careless driving. He was not charged with manslaughter since officials couldn’t prove he was drunk at the time of the accident.
