A Bellevue man has been given two to three years in prison for vehicular homicide in Omaha.

Online court records say 21-year-old Vidal Becerra pleaded guilty after prosecutors lowered the felony charge. Becerra was sentenced earlier this week.

Authorities say Becerra had a blood alcohol level of three times the legal limit when he crashed his car on July 4 in western Omaha. A front-seat passenger, 21-year-old Nicholas Galas, of Omaha, was killed. A back-seat passenger refused medical treatment.
