A South Bend man has been sentenced for a crash that left a 17-year-old girl seriously injured earlier this year.

39-year-old Gregory Durling was sentenced on Friday for the April 13 crash on Mishawaka Ave.

Durling pleaded guilty to causing serious bodily injury while operating a vehicle while intoxicated, criminal recklessness and criminal mischief.

He received a five-year sentence, with one year in prison and four years on community corrections, followed by two years of probation.

Durling must also undergo mental health and substance abuse treatment, attend a Victim Impact Panel and pay restitution, and he faces a four-year license suspension.
