Sean Ludwick Indicted on 13 Charges This Week

Sean Ludwick, a New York City real estate developer who was arrested on a DWI charge after a crash in Sag Harbor which killed his passenger this past summer, was indicted on 13 charges in front of a grand jury on Wednesday.

If proven guilty, Ludwick could face up to a total of 32 years in jail, according to court records.

His charges included: two counts of aggravated vehicular homicide, vehicular manslaughter, operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, leaving the scene of an accident, driving with a blood alcohol level over .18 percent and reckless driving, among others.

The top charge of aggravated vehicular homicide alone could land Ludwick up to 25 years in jail.

His next court date is scheduled for January 6 in Central Islip.

Back in August, 42-year-old Ludwick, was driving on Rolling Hill Court East at about 2 a.m. when he lost control of the car and struck the pole, killing the sole passenger in the car, 53-year-old Douglas Elliman real estate agent Paul Hansen, of Sag Harbor, who was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

He was arraigned in Southampton Town Justice Court on August 31 and was released after paying the $1 million bond.
