Gabriel H. Woolson, 26, of Williamstown, was sentenced Friday to 6 years in state prison by the Honorable Russell A. DePersia for death by auto stemming from a 2022 crash that resulted in the death of another motorist.

According to documents filed in this case and statements made in open court:

Silverstein was ejected from the vehicle and suffered catastrophic, fatal injuries. A passenger in Woolson’s vehicle was also injured.
