The three counts were punishable by a maximum of six years imprisonment each, $1,500 in fines for each count, loss of license for one year for each death.
Fortunately the driver was a TVC Pro Driver member. The Provider Attorney and pursuant to a plea arrangement with the State, the member received no jail time, no supervised probation and only a $500 fine.
The driver also received one year revocation of driving privileges in the state where the accident occurred. However the TVC Attorney made arrangements that he was still allowed to drive in his home state and all other remaining states in the US.
