The suspect in Saturday's deadly vehicle collision with a crowd in Pennsylvania said it was intentional and detailed a subsequent fatal attack on his mother, police said Sunday.
Adrian Oswaldo Sura Reyes, 24, faces two open counts of criminal homicide following the deaths of a yet-to-be identified 50-year-old woman from Wilkes-Barre who was in the crowd and Reyes' mother, identified by the Luzerne County coroner as Rosa D. Reyes, 56.
In a criminal complaint filed Sunday, Pennsylvania State Police investigators say defendant Reyes confessed to both homicides — an estimated 2 miles apart — after he was informed of his right not to cooperate.
A trooper asked whether he was aware of what happened outside a bar in Berwick, where a vehicle struck 18 people early Saturday.
"Yeah, that was me," the defendant is quoted as saying.
