Philadelphia Kixx defender Matthew Maher has been charged with aggravated manslaughter after a fatal auto accident on the Atlantic City Expressway.
Maher, 24, was involved in the crash on March 14 that left 55-year-old Hort Kap of Philadelphia dead.
Maher's Escalade allegedly struck a Kap's Chrysler Town and County van, which overturned
Maher was originally charged with driving while intoxicated after taking a field sobriety test and having blood drawn at Kessler Memorial Hospital.
Maher, a Cape May Courthouse, New Jersey resident, is a graduate of Temple University.
On the turf, the KiXX close out the 2008-09 National Indoor Soccer League (NISL) regular season and the team's tenure at the Wachovia Spectrum versus the Massachusetts Twisters today.
The team has two potential scenarios to qualify for postseason play. The KiXX can clinch a berth if the visiting Monterrey La RaZa defeat the Rockford Rampage today. However, if Rockford earns the victory, then the club needs the Blast to also knock-off the La RaZa in the League’s finale on March 29 to qualify for the playoffs. Both scenarios require Philadelphia to earn a victory versus the Massachusetts.
The Spectrum, the team’s home for all 13-years of its existence, is scheduled to be razed sometime after the season to make way for Philly Live,an entertainment complex.
The KiXX are currently in negotiations with a Philadelphia arena for next season.
