The man who hit and killed an Enfield child in 2013 was sentenced Wednesday to eight years in prison, suspended after three and five years of probation.
Brian Dolloff, 30, was sentenced for charges of second degree manslaughter, driving under the influence, and other charges in Enfield Superior Court.
Dolloff was speeding and drunk when he crashed his motorcycle on Broad Brook Road in Enfield back in September of 2013, according to the arrest warrant.
Dolloff hit 11-year-old Nico Fillippa who was riding his bicycle at the time. The boy’s mother, a nurse for LifeStar, helped treat her son at the scene before he was taken by ambulance to Bay State Medical Center, the warrant states.
Dolloff initially admitted to drinking just one beer that night, but later admitted having a second beer and a double shot of rum, the warrant says.
An hour after the crash, tests determined his blood alcohol content to be .069 which experts say would have been over the legal limit when the crash happened, according to the warrant.
Police also say Dolloff was driving without a motorcycle endorsement.
