ALFRED (AP) — A 24-yearold Sanford man has been convicted of manslaughter and several other charges for causing a traffic accident in town that killed one person and sent five to the hospital.
A York County Superior Court judge found Zachary Bubar guilty on all nine counts following a two-day bench trial last week.
The Journal Tribune reports that sentencing has not been scheduled.
Authorities say Bubar was behind the wheel of car in July 2010 that crashed into a van. Police say a speeding Bubar pulled into the northbound lane around a car that was signaling to make a right turn and slammed into a van headed north.
Shawn Beaulieu of Sanford was in the front passenger seat of Bubar’s vehicle. He was taken to the hospital where he died.
