A Mancos man pleaded guilty Friday to vehicular homicide after hydroplaning into oncoming traffic on U.S. Highway 160 in July, hitting a vehicle with a family of four and killing two.<\/p>\n

Anthony Rodriquez, 36, also pleaded guilty to careless driving causing bodily injury and driving without insurance.<\/p>\n

The crash occurred about 5:15 p.m. July 20, 2017, just east of the Montezuma-La Plata County line at mile marker 68, near the Cherry Creek area.<\/p>\n

Rodriquez was traveling west in a Nissan Armada when a downpour caused his vehicle to hydroplane into the eastbound lane and strike a Honda Pilot carrying the Streett family head-on.<\/p>\n

Authorities said excessive speed was a factor.<\/p>\n

Robert Streett, 52, died at the scene, and his 16-year-old son, Robby, died at Mercy Regional Medical Center.<\/p>\n

Streett\u2019s wife, Josslyn, 49, was airlifted to St. Anthony\u2019s Hospital in Lakewood, and Sawyer, 14, was taken to Mercy.<\/p>\n

The family is from Sequim, Washington, about two hours northwest of Seattle.<\/p>\n

Rodriquez is scheduled for sentencing April 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
