According to the plea agreement, prosecutors are recommending a 10-year prison sentence and a lifetime suspension of Lindsley’s driver’s license.
As part of the agreement, two other counts of aggravated vehicular homicide and one misdemeanor count of operating a vehicle under the influence were dismissed.
Lindsley is scheduled for sentencing March 27.
The charges stem from a Nov. 22, 2022, crash that killed 71-year-old James Dominy and his wife, 66-year-old Margaret, of Chesterfield, Virginia.
Lindsley was driving a 1993 Chevrolet Blazer around 6:20 p.m. northeast on U.S. 68 at “unsafe speed,” when he crashed into a 2020 Honda CR-V in the right rear as it was turning right onto U.S. 68 from Brush Row Road, according to a crash report.
The impact pushed the Blazer across the center line and off the left side of the road, where it hit a curb and overturned.
The CR-V went off the right side of the road, struck a group of mailboxes, went back onto the road, crossed over to go off the left side of the road, where it hit the Blazer, which overturned again before coming to rest.
The Dominys were taken to Miami Valey Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
Lindsley was critically injured in the crash and also taken to Miami Valley Hospital.
According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol’s Xenia Post, toxicology tests found that Lindsley had cannabinoids in his system and a blood-alcohol level of .204, more than twice Ohio’s legal driving limit of 0.08.
The crash shut down a portion of U.S. 68 for four hours in Xenia Twp. as troopers investigated.
Lindsley is in Greene County Jail for a bond violation, according to the jail website.
