GREELEY, Colo. -- A man who tried to commit suicide by sailing through several interections at 90 mph was sentenced Thursday to 35 years in prison after he crashed his pickup truck and killed a young mother last year.

Matthew Kyle Campbell, 35, was originally charged with first-degree murder based on extreme indifference to human life.

Last November he pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and as part of the plea agreement, Campbell faced between 16 and 35 years in prison instead of life in prison.

Campbell was sentenced after the Weld County judge heard emotional testimony from friends and family of the victim -- Tamara Fuentes -- as well as testimony from Campbell's family.

Fuentes was a 23-year-old wife and mother of two when, on March 2, 2005, she drove her car on US 85-bypass and 16th Street. She was killed instantly when Campbell ran at least two red lights and crashed his Ford F-350 truck into her vehicle.

Campbell fled the scene and was later apprehended by Greeley police officers. He has been held at the Weld County Jail without bond since the crash.
