Police say Kovaleski’s blood-alcohol content was nearly four times the legal limit for driving and he was driving the wrong way when he crashed head-on into 55-year-old Timothy Kunis’ vehicle on Interstate 81 in 2015.
Kovaleski served in Iraq and Kuwait. The Carbondale native says his drinking problem and post-traumatic stress disorder could have contributed to the fatal crash.
