ST. GEORGE — The courtroom was awash in orange from family and friends who showed up on Thursday in support of a 7-year-old boy who died in Washington last June, following a crash that involved a drunken driver.
Tracy Sandoval, 47, appeared before District Judge John J. Walton on Thursday for sentencing on multiple charges, including negligently operating a motor vehicle resulting in death, a second-degree felony; two counts of negligently operating a motor vehicle resulting in serious injury; and failing to remain at an accident resulting in death, a third-degree felony.
The remaining charges — negligent automobile homicide involving a device, operating a motor vehicle without insurance, failing to stop at a stop sign and a windshield obstruction infraction — were dismissed as part of the plea agreement.
The charges stem from a three-vehicle crash reported June 30, 2023, in Washington.
