WILKES-BARRE — A man pleaded guilty to charges related to a deadly crash in Luzerne County.

Onix Gorbea-Lespier from the Harrisburg area pleaded Friday morning to homicide by vehicle, aggravated assault by vehicle, DUI, and careless driving.

He was charged in October 2011.

Gorbea-Lespier could face between one and a half to three years when he’s sentenced.
