CHIPLEY, Fla. (AP) -- A man who prosecutors say was high on drugs when his pickup truck fatally struck three utility workers fixing power lines in the Florida Panhandle after Hurricane Michael has been sentenced to life in prison.
Court records show 38-year-old John Goedtke was sentenced Monday in Florida's Washington County.
He pleaded no contest last week to DUI manslaughter and other charges.
Investigators say the Florida man was pulling a trailer at high speed just before he crashed his pickup truck in October 2018, striking the three workers as they were repairing lines north of Panama City.
