Woody was charged with six counts of aggravated vehicular homicide and one count of aggravated vehicular assault, third-and fourth-degree felonies, respectively.

Woody caused a chain reaction in which six people were killed after leaving the Cedar Point amusement Park. His vehicle crossed the center lane and impacted the front left corner of a tractor-trailer, the Ohio Highway Patrol said. Witnesses said the tractor-trailer then clipped another vehicle and smashed head-on into the vehicle with the victims.

The impact pushed their vehicle off a bridge, and  it landed upside down in a creek.

Tests showed that Woody had alcohol, marijuana and Valium in his system, though his blood-alcohol level was below the legal limit of 0.08.

Before he was sentenced, Woody told the court he was sorry.
