Default Corvette driver charged in fatal crash sentenced

Alameda County sentenced the driver of the C7 that was going 99 in a 35 (plus a BAC of .014) to 30 years to life for killing 2 people and injuring others. Prayers to the family of the injured; it is a loss for everyone involved. Please remember - if you drink, DO NOT DRIVE. This guy didn't live far from me, so it hits a little closer to home.

Sad story for everyone. As adults we all have to take responsibility for our actions. Thanks for the update. It is a sober reminder.

Even if you don't drink - do not do 99 in a 35 MPH zone.

Doesn’t take alcohol to be an idiot and drive 100 MPH in a 35. Glad they are off the road. An idiot.

Very sad story all around but that jury in the article sounds like it wasn't following protocol.
