The force of the impact threw all seven family members from the carriage, leaving three children dead. A 2 and 6-year-old died at the scene and a 4-year-old later died at a hospital.
The suspect, Tyler Frye, pled no contest during the Tuesday, May 11th hearing. Frye allegedly admitted to having had too much to drink to officers at the scene. He was also charged with a county of felony firearm which was dismissed along with other charges.
A date for sentencing has not been set.
