Man who killed 4 family members while driving high on Long Island sentenced
MASSAPEQUA, Long Island (WABC) -- A man who pleaded guilty to killing four members of the same family in a crash on Long Island was sentenced on Friday.
Michael DeAngelo admitted to being high on cocaine and fentanyl while going more than 100 mph on the Sunrise Highway last summer.
He was sentenced to seven to 21 years in prison.
He hit a car driven by Marine veteran Patrice Huntley who was celebrating a recent job offer and had taken five members of his family out for ice cream.
As a result of the crash, Huntley, his 10-year-old son Jeremiah Huntley, and his 13-year-old daughter Hannah Huntley were killed.
His 6-year-old step-granddaughter, Chantel Solomon, died six days after the crash due to her injuries.
Prosecutors say his path of destruction started days prior to the crash. Just three days earlier he allegedly fled cops who were called to his home for an overdose.
Family members are expected to deliver victim impact statements at the sentencing hearing.
DeAngelo faces up to 21 years in prison.
