Speeding driver sentenced for accident

A judge has sentenced a woman who capped a string of driving incidents with an accident that put a man in a wheelchair for life. 23-year-old Ashley Lee Ellis apologized to her victim before Judge Thomas Zonay sentenced her to 30-days in jail, 100 hours of community service and permanent loss of her driver's license. 40-year-old Scott Allen was riding his motorcycle in Rutland Town the day Ellis hit him from behind. He was in the courtroom to hear the sentence handed down. The former electrician said his days of independence were over. Ellis's license had been suspended in the past for speeding, and got another speeding ticket less than a month after the accident.
