Woman Gets Jail Time for Role in Fatal Truck Accident
It is one thing to cause a truck accident unintentionally; it is quite another to flee the scene of an accident, especially when it takes the life of another driver.
After discovering the identity of the person responsible for a fatal truck accident that occurred in January, officers in Las Vegas, Nevada were able to charge the 31-year-old woman with leaving the scene of a lethal crash as well as reckless driving. According to reports, the suspect pleaded guilty to both charges in April and was sentenced last week to six to thirteen years behind bars.
One witness told officers that the female driver was traveling at 110 mph before she struck a pickup truck from behind, killing one passenger and injuring another. One of the victims was a 44-year-old woman from Las Vegas.
