Cummings won’t be eligible for parole. He was convicted of driving under the influence in 2015 and twice in 2017.
Authorities said the 26-year-old man crossed the centerline of McConnells Highway, about 4 miles east of McConnells, in July 2019 and crashed his vehicle into a car carrying five people.
The crash killed 66-year-old Paul Kelly and left two others injured.
