The 18-year-old driver who sped up to 105 mph through a south Minneapolis neighborhood before broadsiding a pickup truck, killing three people inside, was sentenced Wednesday to more than 32 years in prison.

Dozens of family members and friends of the victims - Kimberly M. Gunderson, 48, and husband and wife Kenneth Carpentier, 64, and Sheryl Carpentier, 65 - packed Hennepin County District Court's second-largest courtroom, which seats 42 people. In an unusual move, the courtroom doors were left open so several supporters in the hallway could listen as Dayquan Hodge was sentenced for the Sept. 23, 2018, crash outside of Minneapolis' famed Matt's Bar.
