Charges are pending against a Port Jefferson man following a tractor-trailer accident on I-95 that left four people dead.

According to police, the driver of a flatbed truck was heading north on the New Jersey Turnpike near exit 70 Monday when suddenly traffic slowed down in front of him. Police say the driver of the truck, 46-year old Dimitrios Tseperkas, of Port Jefferson, couldn?t stop his truck in time and rear-ended one car, turned over on another and then pushed both cars into another tractor-trailer.

Since the accident happened in New Jersey, the Bergen County Prosecutor?s office is handling the case and will ultimately decide if the driver is charged.
