Darren Jamar Bullock pleaded guilty to killing eight people when his Crown Victoria smashed into a crowd of onlookers during an illegal street race in Accokeek in February 2008.
The 22-year-old Waldorf resident is expected to be sent to prison for 15 years on eight counts of vehicular manslaughter when he’s sentenced March 1.

Bullock admitted that he was driving at more than 100 mph when he rammed the crowd, which had moved into the road after having just watched another illegal street race on Feb. 16, 2008. An illegal street-racing charge against Bullock was dropped as part of the plea agreement.
Prosecutors say Bullock was racing 20-year-old Tavon Taylor, who is scheduled to go on trial Monday. It is not yet clear whether Bullock will testify during Taylor’s trial.
