SAN ANTONIO – A 36-year-old woman who caused a crash that killed an 18-year-old man on the Southeast Side in 2022 was sentenced to prison on Thursday.

Priscilla Guerrero, 36, was sentenced to 22 years after pleading guilty on April 2, the 144th District Court told KSAT.

Guerrero was given a 12-year sentence on the charges of intoxication manslaughter and aggravated assault, and a 10-year sentence for a charge of intoxication assault. The sentences will run concurrently, the 144th District Court coordinator told KSAT.
