FARGO — A Fargo man will spend a year in jail for driving drunk into a home and seriously injuring a child.

Clinton Deckard, 56, pleaded guilty Friday, Oct. 10, to criminal vehicular injury and reckless endangerment.

The crash occurred in March , two blocks from Deckard’s home on 10th Avenue South near Walmart. Deckard’s pickup struck a house, pinning a 12-year-old girl inside. Firefighters had to rescue her, and she was seriously hurt. Her sister was also inside the home at the time.
