BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — A Buffalo man has pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including manslaughter, in connection to a deadly crash in March 2024.

The Erie County District Attorney's Office announced that 24-year-old Devin M. Ford pleaded guilty in State Supreme Court to two counts of second-degree manslaughter, one count of second-degree assault and one count of third-degree assault.

Authorities said on March 21, 2024, Ford was driving at a high rate of speed north on Main Street in Buffalo when he caused a collision with another vehicle at the intersection of Humboldt Parkway. Ford didn't have his headlights at the time of the crash and was taken into custody as he attempted to climb out of his vehicle through the front passenger door.

Ford was transported to ECMC for evaluation and the four occupants of the other vehicle were taken by ambulance to ECMC.

The district attorney's office said the driver of the other vehicle, 27-year-old Nasir Musazada of Buffalo, was working as a rideshare operator at the time of the crash and was pronounced dead at the hospital. His rear driver-side passenger, 26-year-old Morgan Ehrenbeit of Ohio, also died at the hospital. Another rear-seat passenger, a 31-year-old man from Ohio, was seriously injured and is still in a long-term rehabilitation facility. The front seat passenger, another 31-year-old man from Ohio, was released from the hospital after receiving treatment for injuries to his spine and ribs.

Ford faces a maximum of 15 years in prison and is scheduled to be sentenced on March 24. He remains held without bail.
