EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — A man who had been drinking before he drove through a stop sign and crashed into another car in Snohomish County, killing four people, pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide.
Prosecutors are recommending a 6-year prison sentence for 27-year-old Matthew McDonald of Snohomish when he is sentenced March 16 in Snohomish County Superior Court. He pleaded guilty Wednesday.
The Daily Herald of Everett reports a Washington State Patrol test showed McDonald had a blood alcohol level of .123 the night of Nov. 29 when he crashed his SUV on Highway 9.
It killed two Clearview couples who were returning home from planning a birthday party, Brad and Melissa Agerup and Tom and Hilda Woods.
