CENTRAL CITY, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska man has been sentenced to two decades in prison for causing a fatal wreck that killed a Columbus woman last year.

31-year-old Christopher Hajek of Marquette was sentenced to 20 years in prison for a felony charge of vehicular homicide.

Hajek was also charged with a DUI and pleaded no contest in May. His driver’s license has also been revoked for 15 years.

Hajek was charged after authorities say he caused a 2013 accident that killed 22-year-old Amanda Asche on U.S. Highway 30 near Clarks.

Police say Asche was heading east on the highway when her vehicle was hit by Hajek’s pickup.
