A man was sentenced Thursday for charges related to a 2011 fatal collision.

19-year-old Keaton Leon Hannah faced two counts of manslaughter.

The judge sentenced Hannah to 20 years in the Department of Corrections with a one-year judicial review.

According to Rogers County ADA Sean McConnell, Hannah was also given one year in the Rogers County Jail with credit for time already served on one count of leaving the scene.

McConnell told KTUL.com that the hearing began at 1:30 p.m. Thursday and ended around 3:00 p.m.

The charges stemmed from a June 17th collision in which 21-year-old Eric Watkins and his eight-month-old son Bryor died.

Police at the time said that Hannah was intoxicated and was behind the wheel of a pickup truck that crashed into three different vehicles, including the one Watkins and his son were in.

The collision happened on State Highway 66 near Gordon Road near Verdigris just after 5:00 a.m. on June 17th.
