EASTON, Pa. -

A Phillipsburg, New Jersey man is headed to prison for causing a deadly drunk-driving crash in Northampton County.

Thomas Parson was sentenced today to three to six years behind bars.

The crash happened in April 2009 on Johnston Drive in Bethlehem Township.

Parsons' passenger and stepdaughter Kelly Rice, 28, was killed.

Police said Parsons' blood alcohol level was more than two times the legal limit at the time of the crash.
