A Massachusetts man found guilty of murdering a 13-year-old girl and seriously injuring her mom and a friend by running a red light at close to 70 mph in a company pickup truck while drunk and under the influence of cocaine after a work Christmas party will spend at least the next two decades in prison and up to life behind bars.

The Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office has said that 36-year-old Gregory Goodsell, in the early morning of Dec. 29, 2019, had a BAC of .266 as he crashed a driving a pickup truck that belonged to his then employer Hi-Way Safety Systems, Inc. into a Subaru, with deadly consequences.

The crash on Route 139 in Pembroke, a town not far from the Cape Cod Bay, left the three victims with “catastrophic injuries,” injuries only Claire Zisserson’s mother and a friend would survive. Claire would have turned 14 a week later.
