A Freeport man was sentenced to up to 18 years in prison for a DWI crash that killed three family members who were leaving a Sweet 16 party.

Dante Lennon pleaded guilty in March to driving twice the speed limit with a blood alcohol level of 0.12% when he slammed into a Lincoln town car as it was leaving The Inn at New Hyde Park.

The crash happened just over two years ago.

Three other people were also hurt in the crash.
