WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - A 21-year-old man has been sentenced to three years of probation for a crash that killed a 72-year-old Wichita man.

The Wichita Eagle reports that Cody McFarlane was sentenced Wednesday for involuntary manslaughter and aggravated battery in the July 2017 collision that killed 72-year-old James McDaniel and injured McDaniel’s 16-year-old grandson.

Court records say McFarlane was speeding at 80 mph in a 30 mph zone when his truck sped through an intersection in the northern part of the city and struck McDaniel’s vehicle. McDaniel died less than an hour later at a hospital.



If he violates the terms of his probation, McFarlane could be forced to serve a prison sentence of three years and four months.
