\nA Hardin County man was charged with murder after police said his blood alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit when he was involved in a crash Monday on Poplar Level Road in Louisville that killed two people.<\/p>\n
Bradley Roth, 44, of Rineyville, was charged with two counts of murder, wanton endangerment and operating a motor vehicle under the influence.<\/p>\n
Louisville Metro Police responded to the crash around 6:15 p.m. Monday in the 4500 block of Poplar Level Road near Bishop Lane and Tile Factory Lane.<\/p>\n
According to preliminary investigation, police said a red pickup truck was traveling north on Poplar Level Road at a \u201chigh rate of speed\u201d when it entered the intersection and hit a commercial box truck that was making a left turn.<\/p>\n
The pickup went underneath the box truck. Fern Creek firefighters had to help remove the people from the pickup.<\/p>\n
One passenger was pronounced dead at the scene. Another passenger was taken to UofL Hospital, where he died a short time later. The victims were identified by court documents as 56-year-old Jason Bohannon of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and 46-year-old Gregory Paulin of Prospect, Kentucky.<\/p>\n
The driver of the pickup, later identified as Roth, was also taken to UofL Hospital with critical, life-threatening injuries.<\/p>\n
Two men were inside the box truck but neither reported any injuries.<\/p>\n
According to Roth\u2019s arrest citation, a large empty bottle of vodka was found in the back seat of the pickup truck. Blood samples taken from Roth at the hospital revealed a BAC of 0.254, which is more than three times the legal limit.<\/p>\n
Roth is scheduled to be arraigned Friday (09\/25) at 9 a.m.
