ST. PAUL, Alta. — A man involved in a collision that killed four members of one family on an Alberta highway has been sentenced to five-and-a-half years in prison.
Clayton Tyler Procinski was sentenced Thursday in a St. Paul courtroom after pleading guilty earlier this year to one collective count of manslaughter.
The 32-year-old man had been charged with four counts each of manslaughter and four others of impaired driving causing death.
The July 2009 head-on crash near Bonnyville took the lives of Ivan Paul, his common-law wife Frances Yvonne Gadwa and her two teenaged daughters, Sarah Margaret Gadwa and Alexis Josephine.
Procinski has also been given a 10-year driving ban.
His net jail sentence will be less than five years because the judge gave him seven months credit for time already spent in custody.
