Driver found guilty in crash that killed 5 in Ohio
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — A Michigan man was convicted Friday of driving the wrong way on an interstate and slamming his pickup truck into a minivan, killing a Maryland mother and four children who were returning home from a Christmas trip.
Michael Gagnon of Adrian, Mich., pleaded no contest to five counts of aggravated vehicular homicide and two counts of aggravated vehicular assault. Lucas County Common Pleas Judge Linda Jennings found him guilty.
Police said his blood-alcohol level was more than double the legal limit, and assistant prosecutor Jeff Lingo said Friday tests also showed that Gagnon had marijuana in his system.
‘‘It’s not hard to figure out why he was going the wrong way on the expressway,’’ Lingo said.
Gagnon faces up to 50 years in prison when sentenced June 27.
Authorities said Gagnon had been drinking with family at a bar on Dec. 30 to celebrate the New Year when he went out for fast-food and took a wrong turn onto Interstate 2
