A man from Ohio, aged 37, left the scene of a tragic road accident after his truck’s tire came off and crashed through the windshield of a young woman’s car from Kentucky, who was 18 at the time. As a consequence of his actions, he has been sentenced to spend a few years in prison.

A Kentucky judge on Thursday ordered Ricky Raider to serve a sentence of seven years in a state correctional facility for causing the death of Lauren Collins, authorities confirmed to Law&Crime.

Raider — who was caught on a taped jailhouse phone call confessing to watching the deadly collision — last month pleaded guilty to one count of leaving the scene of an accident with death or serious physical injury and one count of being a first-degree persistent felony offender in connection to Collins’ death in June 2023, according to Boone & Gallatin County Commonwealth’s Attorney Louis Kelly.
