PATERSON, N.J.
(AP) — A northern New Jersey man who was driving drunk when he crashed
into another vehicle — killing one woman and injuring two others — has
been sentenced to four years in prison.
Twenty-nine-year-old Roger
Gallego of Paterson must serve 85 percent of the sentence imposed
Friday before becoming eligible for parole. He also must serve five
years of supervised release once he's freed, and his driver's license
will be suspended for 10 years upon his release from prison.
Gallego
had pleaded guilty to death by auto and vehicular homicide charges
stemming from the January 2011 crash that killed 22-year-old Tiffany
Robinson. Prosecutors say Gallego ran a stop sign before hitting the car
Robinson was riding in.
The crash occurred less than a mile from Robinson's home in Paterson.
