SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - A central New York man has been sentenced to six to 12 years in state prison for the crash that killed his cousin last summer.
Local media report that 43-year-old Glenwood Carr of Baldwinsville was sentenced Monday in a Syracuse courtroom despite a plea from the victim’s mother to spare him prison time.
Carr pleaded guilty in January to vehicular manslaughter and leaving the scene of a fatal accident.
Police say he crashed his car on a road in the town of Clay last August after leaving a family picnic with his cousin, 40-year-old Steven Sears, who was trapped under the vehicle. Carr fled the scene and didn’t turn himself in to police until two days after the crash.
Carr has a lengthy criminal record that includes 11 driving suspensions.
