The 23-year-old driver had blood alcohol levels almost twice the legal limit in an accident in March that killed three people, including himself.
Nicholas White was driving a Dodge Charger at a speed “too fast for conditions” southbound on Lanark Road when he got off the road and crashed at around 8:35 p.m. on March 6, Upper Saucon police said.
The passenger-side tires went to the right side of the road and into the grass, but White over-corrected and steered the vehicle to the left, police said.
White’s vehicle was traveling north and south in the lanes before hitting a large tree at the 1 o’clock position before hitting a second tree about 10 feet away, authorities said.

The vehicle came to rest and went up in flames.
White was pronounced dead at the scene, along with co-driver Sean Hanczaryk and co-driver Emily Kattner.
Brandon DiChiaccio, who sat on the passenger side, was freed and taken to a local hospital, police said.
White worked for a local television station who remembered him as a hard worker and a pleasure to be around.
