SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — Dressed in orange prison overalls and shackled at the feet, one man pleaded guilty in court on Wednesday.

Wesley Louis Staten pled guilty to the four counts against him for his involvement in an October 2023 crash that killed two.

District Court Judge Deck asked Staten: "I'll ask you. How do you plead to count one of the trial information, vehicular homicide in violation of Iowa Code 707.6A sub-paragraph one? Guilty or not guilty." Staten only responded with one word: "Guilty."
