The man who was driving drunk during a crash that killed a young girl in Harrison Township<\/a> nearly two years ago has been sentenced to 3 to 6 months of jail time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jeffrey Glowatski, 65, pleaded guilty late last year to driving under the influence and careless driving stemming from a deadly crash along Kuntz Street<\/a> when 11-year-old Roxanne Bonnoni was hit while crossing the street. She died at the scene.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Allegheny County Common Pleas Judge Edward Borkowski sentenced Glowatski to 3 to 6 months in jail<\/a> along with a $500 fine and probation and parole requirements.<\/p>\n

Investigators said that Glowatski was slurring his speech at the scene of the crash with later tests revealing a blood alcohol level that was nearby double the legal limit to drive.<\/p>\n

Police said that video surveillance showed Glowatski drinking as many 12 beers<\/a> in a five-hour period at an American Legion and at a bar before the crash happened.<\/p>\n

In the aftermath of the deadly crash, Roxanne Bonnoni was remembered as one of The DePaul School for Hearing and Speech’s beloved students.<\/p>\n
