WORCESTER, Mass. -- A drunken driver who caused a fatal accident in Worcester last year has been sentenced to four to six years in jail.
Matthew Galvin of Leicester pleaded guilty on Wednesday in Worcester Superior Court to a variety of charges, including vehicular homicide while driving negligently and under the influence of alcohol.
Authorities say the 20-year-old Galvin was the driver of a pickup truck that crossed the center line and struck another vehicle head-on last September. Eighteen-year-old Iliamarie Rosado, a passenger in the other vehicle, died in the crash.
Prosecutors say Galvin registered a 0.22 on a Breathalyzer after the accident, nearly three times the legal limit.
Galvin lawyer says his client is remorseful.
