YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Yuma man arrested for a deadly crash in March of this year has been offically sentenced after receiving a plea offer from the state.

28-year-old Alexander Trace Ray is set to serve 12 years after a fatal car crash that resulted in the death of 29-year-old Ruben Orozco Gonzalez, and an additional six months for driving under the influence but will be served concurrent.

The Yuma Police Department says Ray was driving at excessive speed with a young child in the vehicle, who was left with a relative before the crash happened.

Ray will be transfered to the Arizona Department of Corrections to serve his sentence immediately and is set for release in early 2036.
