A 20-year-old Buffalo man now faces up to four years in prison after a deadly car crash last summer.

On August 20th last year, police say he drove his car at a high rate of speed through a red light at Masten Avenue and Northampton Street, crashing into another vehicle and killing the driver, 72-year-old Sylvia deRosas.

Sales will be sentenced by Justice Russell Buscaglia on November 22nd.
