Homicide Charges Filed in Westtown Motorcycle Crash
The district attorney says drunken driving on Route 202 caused a 'senseless' death.
Robert Elwood Landis, 49, of West Chester, is facing homicide by vehicle charges following an accident on Route 202 that took the life of a motorcyclist in Westtown on April 26.
Chester County District Attorney Thomas Hogan said Landis was found to have a blood alcohol level of 0.28 percent, more than three times the legal limit at the time of the crash which killed 24-year-old Liam Crowley of Chesterbrook in Tredyffrin Township.
"Anybody who drives drunk is in danger of killing another person. Getting behind the wheel of a pickup truck at night on the highway with this much alcohol in your system is like firing 5,000 pound bullet into a crowd of people," Hogan said.
