Roxbury, NJ -- A former Morris County man was sentenced today to 15 years in prison for a drunken driving crash on Route 80 in Roxbury more than two years ago that killed three people and seriously injured two others. Damian D'Aleo, 27, formerly of Roxbury, pleaded guilty Jan. 2 to three counts of second-degree death-by-auto, in connection with the Sept. 29, 2006 crash.
