UPDATE #2: A second driver has been charged in connection to a Velp Avenue head-on crash, according to the Green Bay Police Department.
Police say they identified Timothy Mossberger, 35, of Green Bay, as the driver of a black GMC Sierra 1500 pickup truck that witnesses claim was racing with a red Dodge Challenger muscle car before striking a white Chevrolet Express van at the intersection of Wilson Avenue on April 1.
Last week, the Brown County DA's office filed two counts of second-degree recklessly endangering safety against Mossberger.
On April 3, the DA's office also filed charges against Jason Wright, 22, of Green Bay, who was identified to be driving the red Dodge Challenger.
Wright was charged with two counts of second-degree reckless injury and two counts of operating motor vehicle while suspended — causing great bodily harm.
Three people were treated for serious injuries sustained from the crash, police say.
