OCEAN CITY — A Delaware woman is facing 48 total charges, including driving while intoxicated and hit-and-run, after a wild spree on Coastal Highway resulted in at least two vehicle collisions.
Around 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Ocean City Communications received numerous calls from witnesses, concerned citizens and victims of at least two separate collisions caused by a suspected drunk-driver later identified as Paige Tomczak, 23, of New Castle, Del. After completing a thorough investigation over the course of several hours including interviews with at least 10 witnesses or victims, an Ocean City Police Department officer concluded Tomczak was the alleged suspect in a wild spree through midtown which resulted in multiple accidents and injuries to victims.
Around 6:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Tomczak was observed by several witnesses driving recklessly and erratically through various lanes of traffic before colliding with another vehicle in a northbound lane on Coastal Highway in the area of 76th Street. The force of that collision caused the airbags in Tomczak’s vehicle to deploy, yet she continued to drive recklessly with airbags in clear view, according to police reports.

So, that's what that was. I saw about 10 OCPD cruisers surrounding that car. I assumed it was a drug dealer. There was accident debris all over Coastal Hwy.
Bad boys, bad boys, what you gonna do when they come for you....
Call Luke Rommel!
Wow and she just lost her brother about 3 months ago.
I am not defending the driver at all, but if the airbags were deployed a sensor should have stopped the fuel supply needed to power the engine. Yet according to cops, she continued to drive recklessly with airbags in clear view. Looks to me like the popo report is doctored up a little, and that is what they do quite often.
OH Bull SH*T!
And it was her brother’s first birthday since he passed. Leave her alone. I don’t condone what she did but there are reasons people don’t know
Correct. Cops are NOTHING more than HOTDOG'S. If their not ACTING like one. They are eating them. Show-off TIME.
Totally wrong
1106 I hit a deer deployed two air bags and drove 228 miles home pulling a camper. Then drove it for 3 weeks until insurance fixed it.
11:06 There is a little thing called witnesses. Multiple witnesses saw her driving while her air bags were deployed. Did you read the article at all? Or are you just a cop basher🙄
11:42 Ahh that’s cool let’s cut her some slack for almost killing several people🙄 Sorry about her brother but people everyday experience losses in their family and they don’t do that. Quit with the excuses.
I'm a cop basher for sure 2:08

If you don't know anything about cars, (and you don't) then don't comment about how cars should work.
1143 great point. Thank you for honest comment.
