Man accused of DUI crash that killed couple in Fresno pleads not guilty

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A man accused of killing a young couple in a DUI crash last year in west central Fresno pleaded not guilty on Tuesday.

Prosecutors say Eugene Roebuck was driving under the influence when he changed lanes and collided with a car on Highway 99 near McKinley Avenue.

Both cars went down an embankment.

20-year-old Mariano Cruz and his 18-year-old girlfriend, Emily Ochoa Ascencio, were both killed when their car hit a tree.

Roebuck has been out of custody, but the judge said he must pay a $150,000 bond by July 14th or he will need to turn himself into authorities.
