A judge has sentenced an Adrian man to 43 years in prison for a wrong-way crash in Toledo, Ohio, that killed a mother and four children from Maryland.
Before she sentenced him Friday, Lucas County Common Pleas Judge Linda Jennings called Michael Gagnon a dangerous person who has a drinking problem and doesn't know it.
Police say Gagnon was driving drunk and in the wrong direction on a Toledo interstate Dec. 30 when his pickup truck hit a minivan filled with eight people coming home from a Christmas trip.
Gagnon had been out drinking at a New Year's party before he struck the van.
