MN:Man Sentenced In Fatal Inver Grove Heights Crash
Man Sentenced In Fatal Inver Grove Heights Crash
(WCCO) Minneapolis A Minneapolis man was sentenced to 48 months in prison in connection with a fatal crash in Inver Grove Heights that happened last February.
Antonio Alatorre-Garcia, of Minneapolis, had been charged with two counts of criminal vehicular homicide.
The car crash happened on Feb. 17 when a Ford Explorer identified as Alatorre-Garcia's crossed from southbound Highway 52 into northbound lanes.
Alatorre-Garcia hit a Toyota Rav-4 head-on, killing driver Mark Berkeland, 56, of Kenyon, Minn.
According to Police, Alatorre-Garcia did not speak English and showed police a fake photo ID.
The odor of alcohol was also present. They administered a breath test which registered 0.10.
"This is another tragic example of the extreme dangers associated with drinking and driving," said Hennepin County Attorney James Backstrom. "There is no crime in America that kills or cripples more people than drunk/impaired driving."
Alatorre-Garcia will be turned over to federal immigration authorities upon his release from prison.
