GREELEY, Colo. (AP) -- A Greeley man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for a 2009 crash that killed one teenager and injured another.

Twenty-nine-year-old Jorge Medrano-Bustamante was convicted in February on charges of vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, leaving the scene, driving under the influence and permitting a vehicle to be operated unlawfully.

He was sentenced Tuesday.

Prosecutors say Medrano-Bustamante was driving and the two boys were passengers when his car went out of control on a Weld County road, rolled and hit a utility pole.

Fifteen-year-old Abdiel Sanchez was killed. Jose Medrano-Frias, then 18, was hurt. Both were from Greeley.

Medrano-Bustamante's attorney contended that Sanchez was driving, not Madrano-Bustamante.
