A Greenwood man will spend five years in prison after driving twice the speed limit, causing a car crash that killed three people.
Connor Tomlinson, 21, pleaded guilty to three charges of reckless homicide in the fatal southside car crash that killed a mother, her daughter and another person just days before Christmas 2015.
Tomlinson was sentenced by a Marion County court to five years in prison, three years of home detention and six years of probation.
The investigation into the accident showed that Tomlinson rapidly accelerated his Ford Mustang while leaving the stoplight at South East Street near Interstate 465. His car fishtailed on wet pavement, hit the median and went airborne into the opposite lane, hitting a vehicle driven by Rogelio Legorreta, according to the probable cause affidavit.
All three people in the SUV — Rebeca Rodriguez-Gomez, her daughter Jasmine Aldai and Legorreta — were killed in the Dec. 23, 2015 crash.
