WARWICK — A Bristol Township man, who was driving with a blood-alcohol level twice the legal limit, police said, was charged Monday with killing a Jamison woman after running a red light on Route 263 at Almshouse Road.

Edward J. Warrington, 27, of the 6000 block of Emilie Road, was charged with vehicular homicide while driving under the influence in the death of Kimberly Ann Flosdorf, 26, after he struck her car broadside at 1:50 a.m. Saturday, police said.

Warrington was arrested by Warwick police after he was discharged from Abington Hospital, where he had been admitted for unspecified injuries. Police said Warrington's blood-alcohol level was 0.21 percent. State law prohibits driving with a blood-alcohol level of 0.10 percent or greater.

Flosdorf was taken to the Medical College Hospitals' Bucks County Campus, where she was pronounced dead. Flosdorf had suffered multiple injuries, police said.

The accident occurred when Warrington, who was southbound on Route 263 in a 1983 Monte Carlo, entered the intersection against the red light, police said. Flosdorf was eastbound on Almshouse in a 1989 Honda Accord. The Monte Carlo struck the Honda in the driver's-side door, police said. The impact sent both cars into the northbound lanes of Route 263.

Warrington was also charged with homicide by vehicle-traffic control signal, homicide by vehicle-reckless driving, drunken driving, involuntary manslaughter, driving with no insurance, violating a traffic control signal and reckless driving.

He was arraigned before District Justice Robert Schnell and sent to Bucks County Prison after not posting 10 percent of $250,000 bail. A tentative preliminary hearing date has been set for July 19.
