Sedro-Woolley, Skagit County Man Pleads Guilty to Felony DUI
MOUNT VERNON A judge today sentenced a 26-year-old Sedro-Woolley man to more than three years in prison for killing a 22-year-old Burlington woman while driving under the influence of alcohol in May.
Adam Hayden pleaded guilty July 16 to vehicular homicide. He ran a red light on Highway 20, striking Chrystal Hansen as she drove.
Hansen’s fiance was in the passenger seat of car. The couple had planned to marry on July 18, and Hansen, who was pregnant, was studying to become a nurse.
Hayden failed a sobriety test at the scene, and a blood test showed his blood-alcohol level to be .09. State law considers a person drunk at .08.
Skagit County Superior Court Judge Mike Rickert sentenced Hayden to 41 months in prison and 18 months of community custody, the maximum in his range.
Rickert said the worst cases are those where young lives are taken, and especially those with as promising of a future as Hansen’s “all the people she would have touched and all the lives she would have saved as a nurse.”
