A 28-year-old Lombard man whose car struck a vehicle carrying seven children last August pleaded guilty to aggravated DUI and was sentenced to a year in prison.
Austin Hall, who prosecutors say had a blood alcohol content of .249 following the crash, was sentenced Wednesday in exchange for his guilty plea. He was also ordered to pay $1,534 in fines, according to court records.
According to prosecutors, Hall was making a left turn onto Busse Road in Elk Grove Village at about 11 p.m. Aug. 28, when his car struck the other vehicle head on. The children were treated for cuts and bruises and released from Alexian Brothers Medical Center in Elk Grove Village.
Hall received credit for 211 days in custody.
