  • News

A grand jury indicted a Vineland man this week in a crash that killed his passenger.

Joseph J. Melini, 50, was allegedly drunk when he crashed his motorcycle in the 300 block of Delaware Avenue at about 8:10 p.m. Oct. 30, 2021.

His passenger, 36-year-old Naisha Peterson of Mays Landing, was pronounced dead at the scene.

She left behind three children, ages 3 to 19.

An investigation led to charges in June.

Melini was charged on a summons and has not been jailed in the case.
