WOBURN, Mass. — The woman who killed a man in a drunken driving crash in 2017 has been sentenced to 3-5 years in prison after pleading guilty Tuesday.
Lynn DeWolfe, who police said has a history of drunken driving offenses, pleaded guilty to causing the chain reaction crash on I-95 in Reading that killed motorcyclist Christopher Weisz.
DeWolfe, 51, will spend three to five years in prison and serve 10 years of probation after that, in a ruling handed down in Middlesex Superior Court Tuesday.
Reports from the incident show that Massachusetts State Police stopped DeWolfe before the crash after 911 calls reported her erratic driving. The trooper, however, didn't catch on to her impaired behavior and let her go. The crash that killed the father of three happened 20 minutes later.
Prosecutors had asked for 7-10 years in prison, citing positive drug tests during her time out on bail.
DeWolfe will never be allowed to apply for reinstatement of her driver's license in any state, according to the judgment.
