BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — A Wood County judge sentenced a Dunbridge man to prison Tuesday for several charges in the death of 60-year-old Michael Szabo, a bicyclist who was struck and killed by a vehicle in July.
James Lindsay was sentenced to 12 to 17.5 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to charges in mid-October: aggravated vehicular homicide, operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, and attempted failure to stop after an accident. Lindsay's license was also suspended for life.
Lindsay was arrested on July 1 after he drove off the road and onto the sidewalk near the intersection of South Main and Pearl streets in Bowling Green. Lindsay's vehicle struck Szabo, a Bowling Green resident, as he was riding his bicycle on the sidewalk, according to BG police.
Szabo died at the scene.
According to court documents, Lindsay appeared in Bowling Green Municipal Court via video on July 3, where a judge set his bail at $250,000. On July 6, Lindsay was indicted by a Wood County grand jury.
