A Glenville-area sprint-car driver is facing at least three years in state prison, convicted by a jury of causing an alcohol-fueled crash that killed girlfriend Ambre Rheinhardt in 2017.
Todd Anthony Gracey s blood-alcohol level after the fatal crash was 0.243%, police said, which is three times the legal limit. In Pennsylvania, an adult is driving drunk at 0.08%.

A York County jury on April 30 found him guilty of the felonies of homicide by vehicle while DUI and homicide by vehicle, the misdemeanors of reckless endangerment and driving under the influence, plus summary traffic offenses including tailgating, failing to stay in his own lane, careless driving, reckless driving and failing to use seat belts, court records state.
