Shannon M. Sidorek, 29, was taken into custody on June 8, after an investigation revealed that she was traveling eastbound on Route 530 (also known as the Pemberton Bypass) around 3:30 p.m. on February 28, 2012 when she veered across the center lane and struck a vehicle heading in the opposite direction.
