An Illinois man charged with a July 2017 crash that killed a pregnant woman and her three children was sentenced Wednesday to two years in prison.
Sean Woulfe, 30, of Orland Park, pleaded guilty in July to five counts of manslaughter.
Will County Judge Daniel Rippy sentenced Woulfe to two years for each of the victims, including the woman’s fetus. The sentences will be executed simultaneously.

Woulfe has been in custody since he decided to plead guilty after his trial ended in a mistrial last March.
At sentencing, Woulfe told the court: “From the bottom of my heart, I’m sorry… I know the Schmidt family never plans to forgive me or hate me, but I hope they know how sorry I am.”
