A Pawnee City man has been sentenced to five to ten years in prison for causing his friend's death in a drunken driving accident.

The sentence announced by the Nebraska attorney general's office comes more that a year after the original crash that killed 26-year-old Aaron Rabstejnek of Table Rock.

The 27-year-old Joshua Westover pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the case in September.

Authorities say Westover's blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit when his car collided with another vehicle, ejecting both men from the car and injuring the driver of the other vehicle.
