A Louisville man has been sentenced to 15 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to DUI charges from a 2023 crash that left one person dead and several others injured.
In June 2023, Daniel Bell, who was 24 at the time, was on Lexington Road driving 100 mph in a 35 mph zone when he lost control of the car, struck a guardrail and then a tree. Bell admitted to police that he had taken several shots of alcohol prior to driving.
Javen David Ramsey-Rushin, 24, was the only one killed in the crash.
When police arrested Bell, they said his BAC was .170, double the legal limit. Earlier this year, Bell pleaded guilty to manslaughter, assault, and several wanton endangerment counts.
In addition to his sentence, Bell will be required to complete an alcohol and substance abuse education class and pay a $425 service fee. He must also surrender his license for six months, if he is able to keep it.
Bell is not eligible for probation or shock probation and must serve 85% of his sentence before being parole eligible.
