WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (FOX 2) - A man was sentenced Tuesday to prison after a 2020 drunken driving crash that killed a 6-year-old girl and her father in Waterford.
Trevor Duncan Taylor, 30, was sentenced to 25-75 years, with 614 days credit for time served.
Taylor was drunk on Oct. 14, 2020, when he crashed his 2016 Hyundai Sonata into the back of a 2019 Chevrolet Equinox at Highland and Airport roads. He hit the SUV so hard that it was pushed into a Ford Fusion in front of it.

Taylor took a plea deal, but was sentenced on two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of operating while intoxicated causing death, and two counts of reckless driving causing death.
