Default Remember the Dump Truck driver that ran thru the group of riders...

....he got sentenced.

Truck driver receives 26 years for killing motorcyclists | azfamily.com Phoenix

"Jakscht was driving a 23,000-pound dump truck in March 2010 when he failed to stop at a traffic light along the Carefree Highway and ran into several motorcyclists.

Four of the motorcycle riders died, and another five were injured.

Methamphetamine was found in Jakscht’s system at the time of the crash. His lawyer, however, argued that Jakscht wasn’t impaired at the time, and that the crash was caused by a mechanical error in the truck."


"PHOENIX -- The truck driver who killed four people after crashing into a group of motorcycle riders in 2010 will be spending nearly three decades behind bars.
Michael Jakscht was in a Phoenix courtroom Friday where he was sentenced to 26 years in prison."

Good, but he doesn't deserve street justice. That's the same crap that got the motorcyclists killed. He should NEVER receive another driver's license again, though.

I go through that area often going to Lake Pleasant. he could see that light for well over a mile. There aren't any trees and its a great road. It was a perfect day too. Really no excuse. Such a tragedy.

Good to know that none of you were on the jury considering the fact that, without even knowing any of the facts, you've already condemned him to death.
