MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - The families of five people killed in a fiery 2007 crash are suing a convicted drunken driver and two bars that served him for negligence and wrongful death.

A lawsuit filed in Monongalia County Circuit Court names Brian Stone, Automatic Slim's Hot Spot and Novichenk's Tailgater's Pub 2 as defendants.

The complaint says bar employees knew or should have known Stone was already impaired when they served him the night of the crash. Police said his blood alcohol content was nearly three times the state's legal limit.

Stone was convicted in 2008 of 25 charges, including five counts of DUI causing death. He was sentenced to up to 56 years in prison.

Killed in the crash on Interstate 68 near Morgantown were: Courtney Evans, 30, of Baltimore, Md., and his 12-year-old son, Sawyer; and Donnell Perry, 52, of Clarksburg, and his daughters, Jentil, 15, and Jacquesha, 13.

Stone had been charged with at least six DUIs in West Virginia and Pennsylvania, and convicted of three of them before the deadly accident.
