Prosecutors say a Santa Barbara County man pled guilty to two counts of vehicular manslaughter for a DUI collision which killed two young women.
Kyle Nelson was headed southbound on Highway 1 near the 101 interchange when he tried to pass some slower vehicles. He veered into oncoming traffic, causing a head-on collision.
Two 19-year-old women in the other car were killed.
Investigators say the 32-year-old man was under the influence of marijuana at the time. Sentencing is set for April. Because of his guilty pleas, it’s expected the Lompoc man will receive a 12 year state prison sentence.
