ST. CHARLES, Ill. (AP) — A suburban Chicago man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty in a drunken driving crash that killed two people in 2019.
Adrian Velasco, 23, of Glendale Heights was sentenced Thursday. He pleaded guilty in October to two felony counts of aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol in the March 2019 crash, the (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald reported.
Authorities said Velasco had a blood alcohol content of .271 — more than three times the state’s legal threshold of .08 — when his vehicle plowed into a car in Elgin, killing driver Norieli Villagomez, 26, and passenger Omar Zavala, 30.
