Driver learns punishment for crash that killed Virginia couple

Carl Lindsley (Greene County Jail)

XENIA TOWNSHIP — A man has learned his punishment for causing a crash that killed two people.

Carl Lindsley was sentenced to five years in prison with up to two years of parole after his release.

Lindsley pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated homicide.

In November 2022, crews were called to US-68 at Brush Row Road to reports of a two-car rollover crash.

A Honda CRV driven by James Dominy, 71, was making a right turn onto US-68 from Brush Row Road when it was struck by a Chevrolet Blazer going northbound, driven by Lindsley.

Testing for alcohol determined Lindlsey’s blood alcohol content was .204 at the time of the crash, over two times the legal limit, according to a crash report.

Lindsley must also pay $4,135 in restitution.
