MORRISTOWN, NJ An alcohol-induced accident took a father of four, an aspiring hip-hop artist and an advocate for animals. Two of the victim s families have filed wrongful-death lawsuits against Morristown bars for allegedly over-serving the man who caused the 2019 crash.
The lawsuits accuse Iron Bar, Revolution Social Brew House and Horseshoe Tavern of over-serving a customer before he sparked a wrong-way crash that killed three.
Miguel Botero caused the fiery crash while driving on I-80 during the early-morning hours of Oct. 18, 2019, in Parsippany, according to the Morris County Prosecutor s Office. His blood alcohol content totaled 0.229 nearly triple New Jersey s legal limit of 0.08.
