A Toms River man has been arrested after he fled from a crash that killed a motorcyclist on Route 37 in Manchester late Wednesday, the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office announced.

Yasmin Sanchez-Centeno, 22, of Toms River, has been charged with vehicular homicide, strict liability vehicular homicide, knowingly leaving the scene of a motor vehicle crash resulting in death, and being an unlicensed driver involved in a motor vehicle crash resulting in death, Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer said Friday.

Schlinger was riding the Yamaha east on Route 37 when a 2005 Nissan Murano driven by Sanchez-Centeno pulled out onto Route 37 into the path of the motorcycle, authorities said. Schlinger was unable to avoid a collision and hit the rear passenger side door of the Nissan, and suffered serious injuries, authorities said.

After the crash, Sanchez-Centeno continued east on Route 37 until the Nissan would no longer drive, and then he got out and ran into some nearby woods, authorities said. He ultimately was found and arrested by Manchester Township police officers, Billhimer said.

Sanchez-Centeno was then administered standardized field sobriety tests, all of which he failed, Billhimer said. He was taken to Community Medical Center and a sample of his blood was drawn pursuant to a court-authorized warrant, Billhimer said.

Sanchez-Centeno is being held at the Ocean County Jail pending a detention hearing.

The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Vehicular Homicide Unit, Manchester Township Police Department, and Ocean County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Investigation Unit collaborated on the investigation.
