A 25-year-old Ambler man accused of vehicular homicide in the death of a 13-year-old boy riding a scooter was released on $60,000 cash bond Friday after he waived a preliminary hearing in Blue Bell.
As part of the agreement, Andrew R. Meyers of North Main Street will enter a 30-day rehabilitation program for heroin addiction, said his attorney, James P. Lyons of Horsham.
Meyers also agreed at a hearing before District Judge John S. Murray III to surrender his driver’s license.
Meyers had been held at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility since March 17, when he was arrested at the scene of the accident that killed Natan Luehrmann-Cowen of Penllyn.
Charges included homicide by vehicle, homicide by vehicle while under the influence, and drunken driving. The mandatory penalty for vehicular homicide while under the influence is three to six years in jail, said Montgomery County Assistant District Attorney Bradford A. Richman.
Police said that on March 17, Meyers had just completed his first day on the job at a North Wales construction company, and was headed home in his 1999 Ford Ranger pickup.
Meyers told investigators he was going south on Brights Lane near Cindy Circle in Lower Gwynedd Township when he saw Luehrmann-Cowen crossing on his Razor scooter.
Meyers told police he could not avoid the teenager. But accident investigators determined that he was going 63 m.p.h. in a 25 m.p.h. zone and that he swerved into Luehrmann-Cowen instead of away from him.
Luehrmann-Cowen, a seventh grader at Wissahickon Middle School, died of multiple injuries at Abington Memorial Hospital that night.
Seven days later, toxicologists reported that Meyers had methadone, marijuana, and clonazepam, an antianxiety medication, in his blood at the time of the accident.
Lyons said the Meyers family was “devastated.”
