ONFIRE-TV.com – One of the drivers from the fatal 2023 construction zone accident has been sentenced for his involvement in the deadly incident. Malachi Brown, 20, will be sentenced to 18 months in prison in part of a plea deal that he had agreed to earlier this month. Under a plea, Brown will serve 18 months in prison followed by three years of supervised probation, in addition to 40 hours of community service.
According to court documents, Brown is one of two drivers who were charged in the deadly accident that saw six construction workers die back in March of 2023. The other driver, Lisa Lea, is still facing charges, and her trial is set to begin April 1. The judge in this case decided to agree upon the plea deal that prosecutors formed with Brown. The victim’s families were consulted before the deal was offered. He faced up to 60 years in prison, but accepted a plea deal for much less jail time. As part of the agreement, Brown also waived credit for the time he spent in jail and on home detention.
