Westmoreland County, PA — Authorities in Westmoreland County say a Boswell man who pleaded guilty to fatally striking a bicyclist in Ligonier Township nearly four years ago has been sentenced.

Officials with the Westmoreland County District Attorney's office say Adam Ulrich, now age 45, was sentenced Tuesday to spend 5 to 10 years in prison.

Ulrich was charged in June of 2021 following an investigation into a fatal vehicle versus bicycle crash on Route 30 in October of 2019.

Police say Ulrich was accused of striking and killing 38-year-old Jason Zollinger.

Police say Ulrich had reportedly returned to the crash scene and told officers he thought he had hit a deer.

Investigators later learned that Ulrich was under the influence of several drugs, including methadone, at the time of the crash.

He previously pleaded guilty to charges of homicide by vehicle while DUI and driving under the influence of a controlled substance.
