WDRB Louisville, KY interviewed the spouse of a man killed in an accident on Highway 111 in October of 2012. The accident happened when a drunk driver was speeding long the highway and crossed over the center line. The drunk driver not only killed the woman’s husband, but also killed three other people, including two passengers who were in the car with the woman’s deceased husband.
The man who is allegedly responsible for causing the accident is on trial now for four counts of reckless homicide. The prosecutor indicates that the man smelled of alcohol but the biggest contributing cause of the crash is the fact that he was speeding and lost control of the car. He is being held on bond pending the trial and could face years in prison for causing the four deaths.
