Take note of his age.

MORRIS TWP. -- A man whose license has been suspended 78 times was allegedly driving drunk when he crashed into a pickup truck, injuring a man and his 4-year-old daughter, before running away to try and hide in a nearby park, police said Monday.

Shaun P Campbell, 39, of East Rutherford, was charged with driving while intoxicated and obstruction of justice after the Friday evening crash at the intersection of South Street and Spring Valley Road, police said.

Police were called to the intersection by a Morris County Park Police officer at Loantaka Brook Reservation who reported a head-on crash, police said.

Harold A. Bivins Jr., 48, of Chatham Township, and his 4-year-old daughter were in his 2008 Ford pick-up when it was struck head-on by Campbell's 1994 Ford Bronco, police said.

Campbell fled the scene on foot into Loantaka Park, police said.

With the assistance of the Morris County Sheriff's Office K-9 Unit and the Harding Township Police, the driver was apprehended a short time later in the park and was arrested, police said.

Bivins and his daughter were treated at the scene for minor injuries by the Morris Minutemen First Aid Squad, police said.

It was later discovered that Campbell had a $3,500 warrant out of Morris Township for fleeing from a crash in 2007, police said.

Campbell was treated at Morristown Memorial Hospital for head injuries, police said. He was taken to the county jail for default of bail, police said.

Campbell's license is currently suspended, according to Motor Vehicle Commission spokesman Michael Horan.

The latest penalty was the 78th time Campbell's license was suspended. His license was first suspended on March 3, 1987, for driving while intoxicated. Since then, his license was suspended 12 times for that same offense, Horan said.

Campbell's license was suspended another 41 times, including his most recent one on April 10, because of non-moving violations, or administrative offenses such as for failure to appear in court, Horan said.

His license was suspended on other occasions for point violations and driving with a suspended license. Campbell's license currently has 24 points, Horan said.

"Basically, we have the power to suspend the license but we don't have the power to see what they do at every moment," Horan said.
