A Longmont man with a history of driving under the influence was sentenced to six years in community corrections on Friday, after taking a plea deal in February for seriously injuring a motorcyclist in a six-vehicle crash in November.

Travis White, 42, pleaded guilty to driving under the influence with three prior convictions; and reckless vehicular assault.

On the DUI charge, he received a six-year community corrections sentence, which will run concurrently with a three-year community corrections sentence for reckless vehicular assault.

District Judge Thomas Mulvahill ordered that White remain in custody until a bed opens up in a community corrections facility.

White’s attorney requested Adult Integrated Treatment Court for White, which Mulvahill quickly opposed. According to the Adult Integrated Treatment Court handbook, the AITC is a voluntary program that takes approximately 15 — 18 months to complete.

During his sentencing hearing on Friday, White asked Mulvahill for leniency.

“I’m very grateful that the young man I injured, survived,” White said in court. “What he’s facing is horrible, and I’ll never live that down. I’m grateful for my sobriety.”Mulvahill was blunt in his response.

“You don’t get to ask for leniency. You don’t deserve leniency. You are absolutely lucky that young man was not killed,” Mulvahill said to White.

The father of the motorcyclist spoke during the sentencing hearing. The father said his son’s injuries included a broken jaw in multiple places and that he is now in need of a kidney transplant, partly due to the injuries he received during the crash.

The father said his son could have very well been killed and described the incident as “life changing” for the family.

White has prior charges of driving under the influence in 2007, 2009 and 2012. He also had a protection order from Douglas County that states he “shall not possess or consume alcoholic beverages or controlled substances.”

According to an affidavit, at 5:24 p.m. Nov. 15, Longmont police were dispatched to a injury crash at 21st Avenue and Francis Street.

Police found a number of damaged vehicles northbound on Francis Street stopped at the intersection in a line, with a black motorbike underneath a Ford truck, according to police.

Police believe the motorcycle was behind four other stopped vehicles at the intersection. when White slammed into the back of the motorcycle, causing the bike and the rider to slide under the vehicle in front of him, according to the affidavit. White’s vehicle was reportedly traveling fast enough that it then continued into the vehicle that was in front of the motorcycle, causing a chain reaction with the three other vehicles.

White was pulled from the driver’s seat of the truck and was unresponsive, according to the affidavit. Police reported that a glass pipe was in White’s lap when he was in the car, and police believe he suffered from a drug overdose while driving. Police administered Narcan to White before he was transported to the hospital.

Meanwhile, officers talked to the motorcyclist who was found lying in the street behind the truck. He said he remembered he was on his bike, stopped at the light, but couldn’t remember anything after that.

The motorcyclist suffered from several abrasions to his hands, knees and face as well as the broken jaw, according to the affidavit.
