A Western Pennsylvania man has been sentenced to five to 10 years in state prison for the death of a passenger in his truck when it collided with a train.

Beaver County Judge John Dohanich convicted Jayson Hatton, 38, last month of vehicular homicide, involuntary manslaughter, reckless endangerment, drunken driving and other offenses.

Authorities said Hatton swerved around a closed rail crossing gate in Monaca as a train approached in April 2008. The pickup was destroyed in the collision, seriously injuring Hatton and killing Jesse Kownacki, 29, of Baden, who was thrown from the vehicle.
