LOWELL, Mass. (AP) – A Tewksbury man was sentenced Thursday to four to six years in state prison after pleading guilty to motor vehicle homicide and drunken driving.

Donald Warren, 31, was sentenced in Middlesex Superior Court after changing his plea from innocent to guilty in connection with the March 2004 death of Ronald Olson, 22, of Tewksbury.

In addition to his time behind bars, Warren was sentenced to five years probation following his prison term; had his license suspended; ordered to undergo evaluation for alcohol abuse; ordered not to drink any alcoholic beverages and undergo random alcohol screening; and ordered to perform 100 hours of community service with the Brains at Risk program.

He struck the median, went airborne and his vehicle landed on top of the westbound car driven by Olson, authorities said. Olson was pronounced dead at the scene. Several other people were injured.
