A 28-year-old East Windsor Township man was charged with two counts of assault by auto and other motor vehicle violations following a two-car crash on Route 133 at 9 p.m. May 12, according to the East Windsor Police Department.
The man and his passenger, a 25-year-old East Windsor Township resident, fled on foot and allegedly tossed bottles of alcohol in the woods as they ran away, police said.
Police searched the woods with the help of the Robbinsville Police Department’s drone unit and found the two men.

The driver and his passenger were also charged with obstructing, police said.
