DRIVER WHO INJURED TWO IN DUI CRASH AT BENSALEM INTERSECTION SENTENCED TO STATE PRISON

David Perlman

A man convicted of causing the drunk driving crash that injured two at a Bensalem intersection was sentenced on Wednesday, Jan. 18, 2023, to serve 18 to 36 months in a state correctional institution.

David A. Perlman, 56, of Allentown, N.J., was found guilty by a Bucks County jury in late October on charges of aggravated assault by vehicle while driving under the influence, aggravated assault by vehicle, simple assault, driving under the influence, careless driving, reckless driving, and failure to stop at a red signal. In addition, he was found guilty of two counts of recklessly endangering another person.

Perlman not only caused substantial injuries to his passenger and the driver of a second vehicle when he ran a red light while driving drunk on Sept. 4, 2020, but he also put the public at serious risk, resulting in Common Pleas Judge Charissa J. Liller sentencing Perlman to 18 to 36 months in prison, followed by two years of probation.
