It's amazing how the driver accepted two friend requests on Facebook at the same exact time the accident happoned, according to his Facebook. Maybe if he was paying attention while he was driving the accident would have been avoidable.

And Patti Doyle has still not been charged. Took them two days to charge this guys and it been a long time some Doyle's accident that actually took a life!

Fyi Bob he has been charged...just because they dont put it in the paper does not mean it didnt happen. Plus the township police had nothing to do with his charges that was handed over by the oc prosecutors office

You would think with all rje interest in this case they would have. Do you know what he was charged with?

Do you think that the jail records could not have been updated yet and he is still in jail where in belongs?

This is great news!!!! He needs to rot in jail for the pain he caused to others.. He didn't just hit and injure 3 ppl he may have ruin there dreams and lifes completely. Those 3 men in the acura were not just ordinary men they were going places in life and making there dreams come ture. And because of a drunk ass playing on his phone it could all be ruined lock him away he didnt learn the first time injured 4 ppl the second are the police gonna give him a 3rd chance to kill someone next!!!!

Bryan Vanderburgh Should be sent to jail and rot in hell... What a piece of garbage he is... multiple dui/dwi offender. Who does he have to kill to prove a point??? schmuck

@j gotti... so it's edwin's fault he had a green light & drunk bryan blew thru a red light?? Hope you never drive around me with that reasoning

@Mimi Just pointing out that he may have been able to avoid the accident if he was not messing around on Facebook on his cell phone at the same exact minute as the accident.

OK, cue the violins..."Oh you can't lock him away at such a young age. He just made a mistake."

and

I'm still waiting for someone to post the obligatory..."Lighten up people, you did the same thing at his age."

Throw the book at him.

There's also no time stamp for when Edwin accepted those friend requests... could've been 5 minutes before he got in his car or an hour before. J Gotti is full of poop

His stupid mistake injured 3 ppl that's not a mistake thats A PROBLEM! !! HE is a 2nd offender this is his 2nd dwi the first was a mistake but 2 come on he is 27 he knows right from wrong for god sakes his brother was a corrections officer.. How many more mistakes does he get to make??? He needs to be locked up and pay for what he did then maybe he will think twice about drinking and driving again!!!

The jokes you hear on TV and in movies about bad drivers, sadly enough is not a joke, but a solid understatement. When driving anywhere in New Jersey, you are guaranteed to see your life flash before your eyes many times. Just before death, your subconscious alerts you that you are about to die in New Jersey, ending your life flash, and making you pull off a near miracle just to stay alive a little longer. By doing this, you can feel the added stress to your mind and body, cause you to lose at least 5 years off your life. When it comes to driving in New Jersey, you will have a better outcome if you take a fully loaded six shooter, and fire it point blank into your skull repeatedly, for then you no longer are teasing death, but welcoming it. The people are horrid, pathetic, and subhuman. When God cast the demons out of heaven, they became the people New Jersey. As true hell on Earth, the people are so unfriendly, culturally/morally backwards, so full of anger and hate that just being around them makes you feel like even the God of love hates you now. Once upon a time, all land in America once flourished, until the people that make up New Jersey arrived and turned a part of this Golden New world into something so atrocious!New Jersey has obviously declared itself an enemy of mankind.Accepting New Jersey is like accepting Cancer. Act not on your hate for New Jersey, but on your good values and higher brain functions to keep our society moving forward by facing the truth!

Bw. It said in the article he was charged criminally along with motor vehicle violations. If he was charged criminally that would probably mean assault by auto. In the state of nj dwi is not a crime, its only a motor vehicle violation. If there is no record of him in the county then he probably was able to post the bail

Miriam : turn out the lights when you leave & try to find something useful to do with your life..I mean really....A Jersey rant for sure ....

@ gotti before you run your mouth check your facts. Those Facebook request were on May 2 at 1:50 am the accident was May 3 at 1:49am.

Many arguments here. Blaming ALL NJ drivers is ridiculous. (The real story is why do people still drive drunk ? ) The penalties need to be greater and loss of licence longer as well. I had my 2nd DUI in 1992 and quit drinking that night and lost my driving priviledge for 2 yrs, sober almost 20 yrs now. 2 years, yup, I learned my lesson. Why do people still drive drunk ??? Your out of your mind if you do !!!

Congrats Greg! I know how hard that road is, having a family member who has now been sober for 7 years and 8 months.

And yes caught DUI even once, should be jail, fine and 5 years loss of license. Maybe we would have a lot less repeat offenders

Congratulations Greg i also have a family member who has 24 yearz sober and also a family member killed in a drunk driving accident but my family member was the drunk driver and unfortunately he payed the ulimite sarcerfice with his life. Its a tough road but N.J is to leanit on dwi this is the top killer in 12 and its sad.

Its so sad because people who drink and drive have no respect for no one when they drive..They say im fine I can drive ,its only a few blocks...then bammm they hit someone or something..The worst thing thats happens is some one or they die..for a really bad decision ...Sad take the cab or call a friend ..stop driving !!!!get help ...

Honestly, If we keep locking up all the intoxicated drivers in the area, the local bars are going to run out of customers. Think about it.

Congrats for being a sober driver? Seriously?? Facebook while he was driving?? For real??? Gotti- you're looking to excused the wrong- everyone goes to bars, everyone needs a ride home. Its your choice to drive drunk- just know that you will be caught. U will lose ur license. U could lose ur life. And you could ruin someone elses. As for pointing the finger here- the judge will do that. Kind of cut n dry- drink, drive, blow a red light, put 3 humans in the hospital. Law simply states- to obstruct or take away from another persons life, liberty or persuit of happiness. Well those of you who don't know, brian unglert better known as dj encore is one of new jerseys best dj's with gigs all around the country. And his crew- in the car with him- their entire lives have been haulted for the time being because someone else made his second offense. This isn't baseball, its life. No third strike should be given. He is a danger, a threat, a menace. Should be revoked of the privilage of driving, and since proven over and over he is no help to society- keep him away from those who are. There's a place for everyone in life- out on the field making it better, or in a cell rotting with the other wastes holding us back. Lock em up and pray for the victims. They are VICTIMS! And gotti, you're an idiot and its clear that you'll be bunking with bryan in no time.

i wish i could post a picture in here of a screen shot of my phone proving that Gotti is a complete moron and clearly cant read and/or doesnt know that after 12am it turns to a new day on the calendar and may 3rd is when the accident happened and not may 2nd, and on may 2nd is when edwin accepted the friend requests on facebook, NOT the night of the accident!!!! i shouldnt even be entertaining this idiot but just to prove what a low life you are to attempt to point the finger on poor edwin!!!!

this guy is prob gonna get 10 to 12 yrs with a good lawyer, @ gotti ,u dont know what your talking about

@ gotti. He might have been on his phone but his eyes were on the road. The other guy was looking at his phone. Any way you want to spin it the guy is at fault not Edwin. And to try to spin it to make Edwin look like the bad guy while he is in the hospital is wrong on so many levels it's not even funny. The guy was drunk ad ran a red light, Edwin had a green light, therefore Edwin is not at fault. I do not know any of those guys in that car but i am hoping that they are all okay. Oh and if you haven't gotten the point the guy was a drunk driver and should rot in jail and you are an asshole for trying to point the finger at someone who is lying in a hospital bed bc someone didn't want to call a friend or spend the money for a cab instead of another drink at the bar.

The driver in the Acura was on their cell phone at the same time as the accident.

WHO EVET U ARE! U ARE AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!! Next time u stalk Edwins page make sure u check the right dates. His accident was MAY 3 at 1:49 AM not on MAY 2 at 1:50. Im friends with him and i saw it. Please don't give me that bullsh*t! It's the drunk drivers fault no questions! Period..... Moron!!!!!!!

Only people that should be commenting on this are friends and family of the victims or ppl who have been through this before, all you other housewives and unemployed bums need to stop arguing about what you think a proper sentence is for the guy driving the car and start checking the classified's for a job. Prayers go out to the victims but you other clowns really need to do something more productive with your time, especially josh p who is on here calling other people loser while he sucks on a morphine lolli-pop

It's a drunk driving accident, isn't the first & won't be the last. To say it was a cell phone is just someone looking for attention & it obviously worked. I know a 2nd DWI will earn you a loss of license for 2 years. Killing someone at your fault while under the influence will earn you 5 years in prison.

I will go ahead and set the over/under on Bryan's penalty at 2 years loss of license, community service & 2.5 years in prison.

PS, i'm at work leaving this comment, so i'm not an unemployed bum.

The penalties for assault by auto or vessel are very severe and can be as high as those for a 2nd degree crime which can be punishable by up to 10 years in jail. There are many different factors which come to play when charges are filed and sentences are determined for assault by auto or vessel, such as the extent of the injuries as well as the location that the alleged crime occurred

See all you fools care about is the sentence, the man is not dead and it almost seems like you clowns are rooting for him to die, just so this kid spend more time in jail. And that's sad. P.S just cause you say your at work doesnt mean anything pal, no one is interested in your opinion about the sentence. Leave your thoughts and condolences for the victims and get back to " work"

I have no sympathies for any person who is intoxicated and goes behind a wheel. Whoever got the idea of making alcohol and making it legal should go somewhere because assholes ABUSE it. Probably 75% of people might be drinking RESPONSIBLY but why do it anyway. This dude's lisence needs to be taken away for good. I may not know the 3 victims personally but I know they're goo people and don't mean harm to nobody. It's sad how innocent people get put in situations like this. One of my close friends that i have known since the 1st grade, got hit by a drink driver and my friend died within 2.5 seconds of the accident. I have no respect for this Vanderburgh kid because he put these people in danger because he wanted to be a dickhead and not learn from his first mistake. God does NOT like ugly but this kid is going to get what he deserves. And for the record, its not only NEW JERSEY that things happen; its all over the world. The state of NJ may have its faults but no state is better than any other state so whoever has a PROBLEM with the laws of NJ better keep their comments to themselves and get the TRUE facts. Anyway, my prayers go out to the 3 people who were injured.

He didn’t do any time in the county jail due to the fact that his parents are enablers. I’m sure they bailed there alcoholic son out of jail rather than letting him sit on the block and think about what he did. Not that it matters since Bryan usually doesn’t remember anything when he drinks. If I were with the police or an attorney for the three guys that got hurt I would be checking in on T.G.I.F Fridays in Brick. That is Bryans favorite hangout and they continue to serve him regardless of how intoxicated he is. And given the direction traveled the smart money says thats where he was coming from.

Great ditective work Sherlock, cause in sure the police didn't ask him where he was coming from. Listen I don't know any of the victims or the driver, but I do know that Tommie T really looks like he should be working with the higher authorities cause he really seems locked in on this one

And tommy trizzle had probably has some experience with drinking and driving, seems that people whom ridicule the most are themselves people that do the samething if not even worse, wonder if tommy trizzle is related cause sure does have some hardcore evidence for only minor details being posted on this site,

Patrick Doyle killed a young man on midstreams rd over a year ago but he still walks free with no charges wtf is wrong with this town something needs to be done now mr mayor

Daniel, is there going to be a follow up on this story? How are the victims doing? The one kid was in pretty bad shape as I remember and on life support/coma.

I was told that Bryan is out zooming around on his motorcycle regularly, playing golf etc...

Our justice system is broken. When we can give someone 25 to 35 yeras in jail to a person for killing and animal and then give nothing to a person for destroying a family something is wrong. If you truly want to know on how to stop drunk driving go to Julianne Evans web site I 'am the grand-father of the late Megan Madeline Thomas and it is not to late for your family. Do not let the final words from your family be in your ears of "Grammy I Can Not Breathe." Megan was only 5 years of age when she was murdered. Only you can prevent it happening to one of your family members or friends. Leave your comment on Julianne Evans web site and she will answer you. Here is her site.....
