Man pleads guilty in bus stop crash that kills 4

A 24-year-old man has pleaded guilty to five felony driving under the influence counts stemming from a crash at a Las Vegas bus stop that killed four people last year.

Gary Lee Hosey Jr. awaits sentencing Nov. 1 after accepting a plea agreement with prosecutors Friday in Clark County District Court. He originally faced nine DUI counts.

The deal calls for his sentence to range from 24 to 80 years in prison.

Four people waiting at the bus stop were killed in the Sept. 13 crash. Hosey, four passengers in his car and three other people at the bus stop were injured.

A criminal complaint alleges Hosey's blood-alcohol level exceeded the legal limit of 0.08 percent when his car plowed into the bus stop.
