NORFOLK, Neb. (AP) — A man has been imprisoned for driving drunk and causing the crash death of an 82-year-old woman in northeast Nebraska.

Madison County District Court records say 36-year-old Jose Valdez was sentenced Friday to 24 to 25 years. He’d pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide with a prior conviction for drunken driving.

Police say Valdez was driving home from a Christmas party in Norfolk on Dec. 8, 2017, when he didn’t yield at an intersection and collided with a vehicle being driven by 82-year-old Geneva Sinkbeil. She died later at an Omaha hospital.

Police say Valdez’s blood alcohol level that night was nearly three times the legal limit.
