(AP)- A Leavenworth County man has been sentenced to more than six years in prison for causing a crash earlier this year that killed a grandmother and injured her 6-month-old grandson.
Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson said 23-year-old Josiah Coleman was sentenced Thursday to 77 months in prison for involuntary manslaughter and methamphetamine possession.
Prosecutors say Coleman was high on meth on Feb. 21 when he drove more than 90 mph in a 40 mph zone, ran a stop sign and crashed into a car driven by 62-year-old Donna Gay Osborne.
Osborne died at the scene, and her infant grandson, who was in the car, suffered minor injuries.
