A New Jersey woman faces homicide charges after allegedly causing a fatal crash that killed two motorcyclists in Pennsylvania when a bug flew into her car. Bernadette A. Cobb, 55, of Brick, told police she "freaked out" when an insect entered her vehicle through an open window on Aug. 12, causing her to swerve into oncoming traffic and strike a motorcycle carrying Anthony Sones, 34, and Miranda Wormuth, 30.

Both died at the scene. According to a police affidavit, Cobb stated she "put her head down by accident, swiped the bug away and turned the wheel" while driving on a two-lane road in Clearfield County. Her passenger attempted to grab the steering wheel to correct course but couldn't prevent the collision.

Cobb posted $100,000 bail and her attorney called the incident a "tragic accident," noting she was arrested before an accident reconstructionist examined the scene. A GoFundMe described the two victims as soulmates of 14 years.

Breakdown of the costs:

First appointment-

Labor: $189.00 to find out what was wrong
Part(s): $391.61 for “filler neck” and $50.98 for “cap” ($442.59 total for parts)

Second appointment, one week later-

Labor: $636 to install the filler neck

Total: $1,267.59

I’m trying to google and figure out if this is normal, but there isn’t a lot of good information online.
