A 30 year old Virginia Beach man landed in prison after crashing into another car and killing its driver, Jane Gardner, 39. Clyde D. Covington Jr. had apparently had three beers at a friend’s house before the accident. His BAC was 0.09, just over the 0.08 BAC legal driving limit in Virginia.
Covington pleaded guilty to aggravated involuntary manslaughter, driving under the influence and failing to comply with a traffic signal in September of last year. This week he was sentenced to pay $600 in fines and to serve five years and one month in prison.
Taking the stand, Covington apologized to Gardner’s family. Covington’s friends and family testified to his good character and he was forgiven by the victim’s family.
