No criminal charges will be filed against the driver of an SUV who plowed into a Planet Fitness in Union County on Tuesday, killing one gym member and injuring another.

The man was killed around 12:20 p.m. when a maroon SUV driven by a 69-year-old woman crashed through the plate glass windows of the building in the 600 block of Newark Avenue in Elizabeth.
