A Kansas City man has been sentenced to 17 years in prison after a drunk driving accident left a 22-year-old woman dead.
The accident occurred in August 2010 when the 27-year-old man was driving at a speed of 152 miles per hour and he rear-ended the vehicle that the woman was in. The collision caused the woman’s vehicle to travel nearly 430 feet.
The man plead guilty to involuntary manslaughter and assault. The 22-year-old woman was pronounced dead on the scene and the driver of that vehicle was transported to the hospital to be treated for serious injuries.
Drunk driving can cause serious injury or worse and can affect many people. Our thoughts are with the friends and family of the victims.
