A Missouri man received a relatively light — though conditional — sentence for the drunk-driving death of two people over the summer.

On Monday, Joshua Frye, 24, pleaded guilty to one count each of driving while intoxicated resulting in the death of two or more people, reckless driving, and DWI causing serious injury, according to the Audrain County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.

The underlying incident occurred on July 12, while the defendant was driving drunk — and on the wrong side of the road — on South Clark Street in Mexico, a small town located roughly 40 miles northwest of Columbia, according to court documents obtained by Law&Crime.
