FREMONT, Neb. (AP) - A Fremont man has been given five consecutive one-year jail sentences for the crash deaths of a woman, her unborn child and her three sons.
German Lopez Saenz, 33, was sentenced Tuesday in Dodge County Court in Fremont. He’d been found guilty in October of four counts of vehicular homicide and one of vehicular homicide of an unborn child.
The three-vehicle crash occurred Feb. 2 in heavy fog just west of Fremont on U.S. Highway 30. Authorities said Saenz’s pickup truck struck from behind a car that was stopped and waiting to turn. The pickup then veered into oncoming traffic and stuck a sedan that Maria Menjivar was driving.
Menjivar, 32, and sons Julian, 10, Adrian, 8, Angel, 7, and their unborn sister were killed. They lived in Schuyler.
