DENVER (AP) - The driver of a van that crashed into a tractor-trailer on Interstate 70 near Eagle in July, killing three people, has been sentenced to 31/2 years in prison.


Twenty-eight-year-old Jose Benedicto Jose-Zacariaz of Guatemala pleaded guilty in February to transporting illegal immigrants resulting in death.

He had faced a penalty of up to life in prison, but received the lesser sentence Friday.

Nine of the 10 people inside the van were illegal immigrants.
