Perry
WHITE PLAINS – A Yonkers man pled guilty in Westchester County Court to two counts of vehicular manslaughter and other crimes in connection with the death of another man, whose vehicle he struck head-on when he crossed lanes at a Yonkers intersection.
Liam Perry, 23, also pled guilty to aggravated driving while intoxicated, driving while intoxicated and two counts of driving on a roadway laned for traffic, in connection with the death of Pedro Martinez.
At about 9:20 p.m., Martinez was driving toward Bronxville on Palmer Road in Yonkers. At the same time, Perry was coming in the opposite direction. When they reached the intersection of Palmer Road and Sunnybrook Road, Perry’s vehicle crossed the double yellow line and struck Martinez’s vehicle head-on. Both men were taken to Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx where Martinez died.
Perry’s blood alcohol content was .27 percent, more than three times the legal limit.
When sentenced, Perry faces a minimum of one to three years to a maximum of five to 15 years in state prison.
