Iowa man sentenced to prison for crash that killed friend

CHARLES CITY, Iowa (AP) - An Osage man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for vehicular homicide in the death of a Charles City man.

The Mason City Globe Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/1CXKxEE ) that 23-year-old Tyler Patrick was also sentenced Friday in Floyd County District Court to a year in prison for driving while drunk. That sentence will run at the same time as his vehicular homicide sentence.

A Mitchell County District Court jury convicted Patrick in December for the Sept. 20, 2013, death of 22-year-old Jesse Wilson, of Charles City.

Wilson was one of six people in the vehicle Patrick was driving. Patrick and the four others were injured in the crash.
