The alleged wrong-way driver who caused a deadly collision while under the influence in early January has been charged with eight felonies and faces up to 100 years in prison.
Alexander Norbert LeDoux, 23, was charged with one count of vehicular homicide while under the influence, one count of fleeing from or eluding a peace officer and six counts of criminal endangerment, according to court documents.
In the early hours of Jan. 4, authorities allege that LeDoux was driving a white Buick Enclave heading west on the eastbound lanes of Interstate 90 for around 20 miles at speeds near 100 mph when he collided head-on with another vehicle, killing its driver, 22-year-old Laysa Grewell.
