OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A 34-year-old man has been sentenced to up to 20 years in prison for causing a crash that killed a motorcyclist and seriously injured another.
Joseph Madej was sentenced Tuesday to 19 to 20 years for motor vehicle homicide and three years for driving under the influence and causing injury. The sentences are to be at the same time.
Police say Madej ran a stop sign in April, killing 48-year-old Daniel McDonald and seriously injured his wife, Patricia, who was a passenger on the motorcycle McDonald was driving.
Prosecutors say Madej was under the influence of a number of drugs at the time.
