PHOENIX (AP) — A northern Arizona resident has been sentenced to nearly four years in federal prison for a fatal crash on the Navajo Nation.
Prosecutors say 42-year-old Amos John Jr., of Lake Many Farms, was given a 46-month prison term Tuesday.
He pleaded guilty in August to a charge of involuntary manslaughter in connection with Oct. 13, 2008, accident north of Chinle.
Authorities say John admitted he was intoxicated when he drove his girlfriend's car from a dirt road onto U.S. Route 191 and collided with a truck.
A man who was a passenger in the truck was ejected from the vehicle and later pronounced dead at a Chinle-area hospital.
