The drunken driver who crashed into a family's car after Christmas and killed three young children is set to spend two decades in prison.
Thomas Hawks was sentenced Thursday to 22 years for the Dec. 30, 2018 crash that killed 5-year-old twins Alexander and Rosalie Mejia and their 1-year-old brother, Isaac. Their mother was seriously hurt.
After Hawks serves his sentence, he's set to be on probation for five years.
