A New Jersey man accused of driving drunk in a wrong-way collision that killed a newlywed couple could spend decades behind bars after he rejected a plea deal in early October that called for a 7-year prison sentence.

Levon Woods, 25, allegedly got behind the wheel after drinking at a nightclub and then crashed into an oncoming vehicle when he crossed over into the westbound lane on Mays Landing Road in Cumberland County on Feb. 22, NJ.com reported.

Thomas Splinter, 57, and his wife Nancy Orellana-Splinter, 29, were in the other vehicle and both died at the scene.

Woods remained at the scene until police arrived.

He allegedly admitted to investigators that he “sipped on a bottle” of cognac at a Philadelphia nightclub before the fatal wreck, but insisted he wasn’t too intoxicated to drive, according to court documents obtained by the outlet.

Police said that Woods also claimed he couldn’t recall the accident and may have even been asleep at the wheel.

Woods’ blood alcohol concentration was 0.095% four hours after the crash.

The prosecution estimated that, at the time of the wreck, his BAC would’ve been closer to 0.155% — nearly double the legal limit of 0.08%.

Earlier this month, prosecutors offered Woods a generous plea deal that would put him behind bars for only seven years with a chance for parole — but he rejected it during a post-indictment arraignment hearing.

Woods is charged with two counts of second-degree vehicular manslaughter, third-degree strict liability vehicular homicide and second-degree violation of a law intended to protect public health and safety.

He could serve a decade a piece for the manslaughter charges alone.

Woods isn’t being held on bail and is due back in court on Oct. 31.

Friends and family of the Splinters are still grieving for the slain couple and trying to navigate next steps.

Rigoberto Hernandez, who shares a young son with Nancy Orellana-Splinter and manages her estate, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Woods on the boy’s behalf in April.

Thomas Splinter was also a father with three older children from a previous relationship.

Others recalled the couple, who had only tied the knot in September 2024, as the type of people who were “always there for each other and their friends and family, no matter what. They were also the primary hosts of all family holidays so they could “spread the love they had with everyone,” according to a GoFundMe.
