Trucker sentenced

A Vermont truck driver has been sentenced in the death of a woman killed by his rig as he was hauling tombstones through Pennsylvania over last year's Memorial Day weekend. Peter Carrara, of North Clarendon, Vt., will spend from to one to five years behind bars. His attorney acknowledged that Carrera was on meth when his truck hit a car it was passing. Carrara made a tearful apology to the victim's family before he was sentenced. The defense argued the victim contributed to the crash by turning left into Carrara's path after signaling that she was turning right.
