Drunk Driver Sentenced in Fatal 2021 Crash


Eugene, Ore. - ALFRED CALDERA SANTOS, age 64, was convicted, and sentenced today in the death of  Zakkary McCann (29) of Mapleton.

On December 14, 2021 at approximately 7:40 AM, Oregon State Police Troopers and emergency personnel responded to a two-vehicle crash on Hwy 126W at milepost 29

Preliminary investigation revealed a westbound Dodge Caravan, operated by Alfred Santos (62) of Eugene, collided head-on with an eastbound Toyota Camry, operated by Zakkary McCann (29) of Mapleton. 

McCann sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased. A passenger in the Toyota Camry, Kussaundra Stevenson (25) of Mapleton, received minor injuries. Santos was transported to the hospital with serious injuries. 


Santos was found guilty of:

163.145 - CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT HOMICIDE

163.160 - ASSAULT 4TH DEG

813.010 - DRIVE UNDER INFLUENCE INTOXICANTS


Santos was sentenced to 3 years, 6 months in prison. His uncalculated end of sentence date is Christmas Day, 2027.  Being this is not a measure 11 crime, Santos will be eligible for early release, and good time reductions. As in any case, time in county lock-up will be credited to his sentence.
