A DuBois man accused of striking a couple on a motorcycle pleaded guilty to homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence during plea and sentencing court Monday.
According to GANT News, 22-year-old Paul Lenze was driving a vehicle following the couple on State park Road in Pine Township on July 10 when they slowed for a turn on Anderson Creek Road. The affidavit of probable cause says Lenze failed to slow down and struck the cycle on the right side, traveled over the cycle, left the roadway, and hit a tree.
The female victim was pronounced dead on the scene. The male victim and Lenze were taken for treatment.
A blood test showed Lenze tested positive for drugs. Lenze was sentenced to three to six years in state prison for homicide by vehicle while DUI and a consecutive period of two to four years for aggravated assault while DUI.
