A Glendale Heights man was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in prison for killing two people in a drunken, high-speed crash in Elgin in 2019.
Adrian Velasco, 23, could have been sentenced to 28 years maximum, or as few as six, for aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol. Kane County Assistant State s Attorney Mark Stajdohar had asked for 23 years.
Kane County Judge John Barsanti said he had to take into account that Velasco had no previous criminal history. But he gave more than the minimum because Velasco drove more than 40 mph over the speed limit, he said.

This isn t the first time since the start of the coronavirus pandemic about a year ago that live music has attempted something of a comeback.
Last summer, some smaller venues attempted to begin hosting sporadic concerts after the May 14 Dine Safe Ohio Order gave the go-ahead to musicians and bands to perform in restaurants and bars that met social-distancing requirements. In September, promotion company Prime Social Group introduced the Westland Mall Drive-in concert series featuring local and national acts.

Discussion of some of those changes came with hints at how the newly reconfigured Summit Street will function as a sealed off extension of the park on game days at Polar Park, the city-owned ballpark that will be the home of the top minor league baseball affiliate of the Boston Red Sox starting in May.
Stephen Rolle, the city s assistant chief development officer, said that included in the various design changes throughout the construction process were changes that addressed most of the board s concerns surrounding the width of sidewalks around the Canal District stadium.
