Driver pleads guilty to crash that killed Virginia couple

XENIA TOWNSHIP — A man has pleaded guilty to causing a crash that killed two people.

Carl Lindsley has pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated homicide, according to court documents.

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.
