A Brick man is facing charges after a deadly head-on crash led to a multicar pile-up in Lakewood earlier this year.

Prosecutors say 47-year-old Brian Baldari was driving over 100 miles per hour the wrong way on Route 70.

Eight vehicles were involved in the early morning crash on March 7, which shut down part of the road for hours.

A 66-year-old man from Manchester was killed in the wreck.

Baldari is charged with aggravated manslaughter and vehicular homicide.

He is being held at the Ocean County Jail.
