TINTON FALLS – A former Red Bank mayor with a history of driving infractions is facing more motor vehicle charges after police said he crashed his Mercedes Benz while driving under the influence Monday night.

Edward McKenna, Jr., 63, of Red Bank, was driving northbound in Tinton Falls on the Garden State Parkway express lanes around 9:50 p.m. when he struck the right guardrail, state police spokesman Sgt. Adam Grossman said. The car turned and faced oncoming traffic in the right lane and continued on the roadway before crossing into the shoulder while still facing oncoming traffic, Grossman said.

No other cars were involved in the crash and no injuries were reported, Grossman said, adding the Mercedes was towed from the scene.

McKenna was charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless driving and unsafe lane change.

The Asbury Park Press reported McKenna was involved in a crash in 2000, after which he pleaded guilty to careless driving and failure to report an accident. McKenna also struck person crossing the street in 2009 and was issued a summons for failure to yield to a pedestrian, APP.com reported.

McKenna served as Red Bank’s mayor from 1990 to 2006, APP.com reported. McKenna is also chair of the State Planning Commission.
