Shaun Wilcox, who is accused of killing four people in 2005 when his truck crashed at the foot of Avon Mountain, pleaded guilty today in Superior Court in Hartford, Connecticut.

The younger Wilcox will be sentenced on June 30, and he faces up to 10 years in jail.

David Wilcox, is due in court next week
