Man sentenced to prison for role in fatal vehicle crash

jailOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A man has been sentenced to spend at least 15 years in prison for his role in a fatal collision that killed one man.

39-year-old Davis Hadi was convicted on Monday of drunken driving and motor vehicle homicide.

Sixty-year-old Carl Gauff was driving west on L Street in Omaha on March 13 when Hadi’s SUV hit him head-on. Gauff later died at a hospital.

Police say Hadi’s blood-alcohol level was four times the legal limit at the time of the accident.

Hadi didn’t address the court during sentencing, but his lawyer said he showed remorse by agreeing to a plea deal instead of putting the Gauff family through a trial.

Hadi must serve 15 years in prison before he is eligible for parole and must be released after 25 years.
