LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A man is dead and another charged with DUI and murder after a crash involving a car and a golf cart near Seneca Park on Sunday.
It happened around 4 p.m. Aug. 11, Alicia Smiley, a spokesperson for LMPD, said.
Two men in their 40s were riding in a golf cart from Seneca Golf Club in the 2300 block of Pee Wee Reese Road when they were hit by a vehicle, Smiley said. The golf cart was in a crosswalk when it was hit.
Both were ejected from the golf cart and transported to University Hospital where one was pronounced dead. The other man was treated and is expected to survive, but the extent of his injuries is unknown.
The driver of the vehicle that hit the men in the golf cart, Lazaro Illas, 30, was arrested and charged with murder, assault, wanton endangerment, driving without a license and DUI. An arrest report obtained by WDRB, shows that Illas registered a BAC of .173 at the scene and later a .160 during a second test at the jail.
He's expected to appear in court for his arraignment Monday morning.
