An Oregon man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for driving under the influence of painkillers and narcotics in three separate incidents, including one fatal crash.

The Statesman Journal reported (http://stjr.nl/2lKF14q) Monday that Daniel James Thompson of Salem was sentenced last week after pleading guilty to manslaughter and hit-and-run charges.

The fatal crash took place in April when Thompson collided head-on with a vehicle driven by Michael Tuel. Tuel died from his injuries at a hospital.

Authorities say Thompson was under the influence of the narcotic Suboxone at the time of the crash and methamphetamines were found in his system.
