DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A 19-year-old Iowa man reported to have been driving more than 30 mph over the speed limit just before causing a fatal crash has been sentenced to probation.
The Des Moines Register reports that Charles Everman was sentenced Tuesday to three years of probation. Everman pleaded guilty Aug. 1 to vehicular homicide by reckless driving and serious injury by vehicle for the Nov. 5 crash in Ankeny that killed 38-year-old Samantha Jo Kriegel.
Prosecutors say data from Everman’s 2012 Toyota Highlander showed he was driving between 68 mph and 72 mph in a 35 mph zone shortly before the crash that killed Kriegel, who was in another car. Two passengers in Everman’s vehicle were also hurt.
