Driver in fatal wreck gets over 6 years prison
A photo from the crash last summer. By Associated PressEUGENE, Ore. (AP) — A 22-year-old Eugene man sobbed and apologized to the family of a woman he killed last July in a drunk-driving crash near Blachly. Judge Cynthia Carlson sentenced Ricky Lee Gunderson to the mandatory 75 months in prison Thursday in the death of 47-year-old Cheryl Ann MacNeil. The Register-Guard newspaper reported that through his tears Gunderson told MacNeil's family and friends he was sorry for the loss he had caused. Prosecutors said tests showed his blood-alcohol level just over the legal limit when his pickup crossed the center line and collided with MacNeil's car. Gunderson pleaded guilty last month to second-degree manslaughter, assault and driving under the influence. (Copyright 2009 The Associated Press.) |
