GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.—A 20-year-old Parachute man has pleaded guilty to driving drunk and causing a crash that killed a mother and her baby.
Prosecutors say they have not decided yet what sentence to ask for Derrick Maxfield, who entered his pleas on Monday. He pleaded guilty to charges including vehicular homicide charges and child abuse resulting in death.
The deal calls for Maxfield to serve between 16 to 30 years in prison.
Prosecutors say Maxfield had a blood-alcohol level three times the legal limit when he crashed into a pickup in February and killed 21-year-old Shandi Boetel and her 6-month-old daughter.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 4.
