A Branson Man pleads guilty to charges stemming from a traffic crash that killed one person on New Year’s Eve in 2021. 

According to documents filed last week in Taney County Circuit Court, Brian Woltersdorf admits to driving while under the influence when he collided with another vehicle killing one person and seriously injuring four others.

As part of the plea agreement, Woltersdorf is sentenced to 15 years on the charges of DWI resulting in the death of a person and four other charges for the people injured. 

Woltersdorf was driving on Highway 376 near the Ruth and Paul Henning State Forest when he collided with another vehicle after losing control on a curve. 

A complete recap of the incident can be found on the Branson Tri-Lakes News Website.
