An investigation determined top speeds of 112 mph for Moore s car and 106 mph for Ramos vehicle, the statement said.
Moore and Ramos were racing toward Philadelphia on the bridge, which has a 45 mph speed limit, the statement said.
The narrow bridge has two westbound lanes and one for traffic heading to South Jersey, Assistant Burlington County Prosecutor Melissa O Mara said Friday at a detention hearing for Ramos.
Moore s car struck the passenger side of Ramos SUV, sending it into the path of Martinez vehicle, she said.
Ramos allegedly left his damaged vehicle and walked away from the crash scene. He first asked another motorist to call his cell phone because he was unable to locate it in the wreckage, according to the statement.
