\nA Louisville man was charged with murder after he was accused of driving under the influence and crashing into three cars, killing a teenager.<\/p>\n
Police said it happened Saturday night just before midnight at Shepherdsville Road and Newburg Road.<\/p>\n
According to an arrest citation, 27 hear-old Ernesto Ocampo was driving a Mazda north on Shepherdsville Road.<\/p>\n
Ocampo drove the car into the back of a Toyota. The citation said there was no evidence Ocampo attempted to brake before crashing into the car.<\/p>\n
The Toyota was shoved forward into a Pontiac and the Pontiac into a Buick.<\/p>\n
Police said the driver of the Buick, Pontiac and Toyota were all taken to the hospital, as well as the front seat passengers in the Toyota and Pontiac.<\/p>\n
The passenger in the back of the Toyota, 17-year-old Mohammed Hussein, was also taken to the hospital. Hussein later died from his injuries.<\/p>\n
Police said Ocampo was driving at a high rate of speed when the crash happened and did not have a driver\u2019s license. Investigators said there were several empty bottles and one full bottle of Corona found inside the Mazda.<\/p>\n
Ocampo was taken to the University of Louisville Hospital after he was seen by police, who said he smelled strongly of alcohol.<\/p>\n
A toxicology report from the hospital showed Ocampo had a blood alcohol level of .338, four times the legal limit.<\/p>\n
Ocampo was arrested and charged with one count of murder, operating a motor vehicle under the influence and driving without a license. Police also charged him with five counts of wanton endangerment.<\/p>\n
He is being held in Louisville Metro Department of Corrections.
