OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A man accused of being drunk when he crashed into an SUV, killing its driver, has pleaded guilty to a felony county of vehicular homicide while under the influence.
The Omaha World-Herald reports that 24-year-old Ulises Pantoja entered the plea Tuesday in Sarpy County District Court and faces up to 20 years in prison when he's sentenced at a later date.
Investigators say Pantoja was excessively speeding and drunk when he ran through a stop sign the night of Nov. 24.
Officials say he hit the SUV driven by 37-year-old Candice McDowell, an Omaha mother of four who was driving home from work.
