A Tulsa man is heading to prison for his role in a deadly car accident.

20-year-old Richard Joshua Beltran pleaded no contest to a first-degree manslaughter count. He was given an 18-year prison term, but 11 of those years were suspended.

Beltran was accused of being drunk when he caused an August 27th crash that killed 52-year-old Barbara Slaughter.

His car crossed into oncoming traffic and hit her pickup truck on a south Tulsa street.
