NEWTON FALLS — A Southington man was sentenced Tuesday for his involvement in a 2019 crash the killed a woman.
William Dally, 71, of 1932 Phalanx Mills Herner Road, was sentenced to 180 days in jail, received a $1,000 fine and will have his driver’s license suspended for five years. But he will only have to serve 30 days as 150 of them were suspended by Judge Philip Vigorito, as well as $500 of his fine after pleading guilty to vehicular homicide.
Dally is under house arrest via electronic monitoring until he can serve his sentence, due to COVID-19 precautions, a court official said.
The crash took place in April 2019 when the vehicle driven by Dally hit Kathleen Westenfelder, also of Southington, as she was walking along Helsey Fusselman Road, Southington. She was transported to Trumbull Regional Medical Center and later to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital where she died.
