Las Vegas Man Due In Court On DUI Charges In Crash That Killed 2

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A 25-year-old Las Vegas man is due in court on felony drunken driving charges in a fiery three-vehicle crash that killed a shuttle bus driver and a German tourist.

Jonathan Donner of Las Vegas is due for an initial court appearance Wednesday in the Sept. 5 crash at a busy downtown Las Vegas intersection.

Killed were Jose Francisco Cosenza of Las Vegas and a 34-year-old German whose name wasn't immediately made public.

Prosecutor Brian Rutledge says Donner faces two charges of DUI causing death and three charges of DUI causing substantial bodily harm.

Police say Donner was driving a BMW that sped through a red light and hit the shuttle bus, causing it to overturn and burst into flames.

The BMW then hit another car.
