OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK – Following an investigation led by a Special Agent with the National Park Service, a man will serve time in prison for two counts of vehicular assault in Olympic National Park. Kelly Lee Landry pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced in federal court yesterday.
While driving along Lake Crescent in September last year, Landry crossed into the oncoming lane and hit another vehicle head-on, sending the other vehicle over a steep embankment toward the lake. Both occupants of that car sustained life-threatening injuries.
On scene, Landry told rangers that he had been driving his employer’s truck to a casino. The Special Agent determined that Landry was driving while under the influence of methamphetamines and marijuana, and was arrested.
Landry was ordered to serve 3 years in prison followed by 3 years supervised release. He must also pay restitution to both victims. A hearing is scheduled for February next year to determine the final amount of that restitution.
