HUNTSVILLE — A Midway man who killed three family members in a 2017 crash on Interstate 45 was sentenced to 12 years in prison Tuesday.
Spence Shaffer, 29, entered a guilty plea to three counts of manslaughter in front of 278th District Judge Hal Ridley. His sentence will be served concurrently, because the three family member deaths all occurred in the same crash.
Prosecutors say that Shaffer was determined to be the cause of a major fatality collision occurring on Interstate 45 southbound near the Huntsville State Park exit at approximately 3:30 a.m. on June 17, 2017.
Reports from 2017 stated that the relatives died when their SUV bound for Houston rolled in a three-vehicle wreck. The vehicle that was driven by Shaffer collided into their SUV, which then collided with an unoccupied vehicle left along the interstate. Two others in the SUV were seriously injured.
