A man who struck an Amish buggy in Shelby County in April, killing one and injuring three, has been sentenced to prison time.
43-year-old Steven Hunter was sentenced to a total of 17 years behind bars for aggravated vehicular homicide, aggravated vehicular assault, and failure to stop after an accident.
Shelby County prosecutor Tim Sell told the Sidney Daily News that Hunter was drunk and high on marijuana when he drove his SUV into the buggy back in April. 23-year-old Sarah Schwartz was killed. Her husband, 27-year-old Henry Schwartz, 18 month-old son Elmer, and 4-month-old daughter Ester were critically injured but survived. All four were ejected from the buggy.
Hunter, who had no license after a previous DUI conviction, fled the scene after the crash.
