PRINCETON, N.J. — No criminal charges will be filed against the driver who abandoned a car on Rosedale Road in Princeton on Sunday, leading to the death of EMT/Rescue Technician Michael Kenwood.

“There was no criminal action by the driver,” Princeton Township Police Chief Robert Buchanon said on Thursday, adding the driver of the car has been interviewed by investigators.

Kenwood, 29, died just hours after he attempted a water rescue during Hurricane Irene.

It was early Sunday when Kenwood and a fellow rescuer from Princeton First Aid & Rescue Squad responded to Rosedale Road in Princeton Township in an attempt to reach a flooded car.
