(Danville) — A man charged in a fatal crash last year in Danville has reached a plea deal with prosecutors.
27-year old Caleb Lane Durham of Blanch-North Carolina was charged with aggravated vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence.
It happened December 20th in the 1900 block of Goodyear Boulevard. Investigators say Durham’s car ran into a vehicle driven by 52-year old Michael Anthony Carter of Reidsville, North Carolina.
The impact caused Carter’s vehicle to leave the road. Both drivers were taken from the scene by the Life Saving Crew. Carter later died from his injuries. Durham was treated and released. Police say neither was wearing a seat belt.
A Danville Circuit Court Judge this week accepted a plea deal where Durham pleads guilty to both counts, but prison time would be capped at seven years.
Durham will be sentenced October 28th.
