The judge gave the 46-year-old Hubbard the maximum combined sentence of 14 years, but suspended the prison time for a year of probation. Prosecutors sought a six-month sentence.

Hubbard was initially charged with five counts of second-degree vehicular homicide, three counts of vehicular assault and other offenses.
