EASTON, Pa. – A trial is set to begin Monday in Northampton County for the New Jersey man accused of killing three people in 2022 while driving under the influence of marijuana.<\/p>\n
A teenage girl and her parents were killed.<\/p>\n
Jury selection is set to wrap Monday afternoon and then the trial for Nelson Segura will begin shortly after.<\/p>\n
Segura faces multiple charges, including homicide by vehicle and driving under the influence of alcohol and controlled substance, and other related offenses.<\/p>\n
State Police say in 2022, Segura was driving a box truck along Route 33 northbound in Bushkill Township, Northampton County.<\/p>\n
Officials say he told them he didn’t have enough time to brake and slammed into the rear of a stopped Toyota Rav 4.<\/p>\n
Inside that car, was a family of three — including a teenage girl — who had just moved to the Poconos.<\/p>\n
Police say Darrell Robinson, his wife Alexis Robinson, and their 16-year-old daughter Tahlia Robinson were all killed.<\/p>\n
A trooper on scene says Segura told them he didn’t see the car at all.<\/p>\n
The officer says Segura was observed to have bloodshot eyes and was acting nervous, repeatedly asking police if he will be charged in the crash.<\/p>\n
Upon searching the truck, police say they found several blunt packages and a marijuana cigar in the cab of the truck.<\/p>\n
During a sobriety test, police say they saw signs that Segura was impaired and a blood test showed THC in his system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EASTON, Pa. – A trial is set to begin Monday in Northampton County for the New Jersey man…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":127569,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[214,153,155,154,31,6290],"class_list":["post-127568","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bethlehem","tag-_homepage_top_stories","tag-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem-headlines","tag-bethlehem-news","tag-crime","tag-easton-area"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=127568"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127568\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/127569"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=127568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=127568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=127568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
