ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) A 26-year-old man who fatally struck a University of Central Florida student last year as she walked near campus was sentenced to more than a decade in prison Wednesday.
Yousuf Hasan received his 12-year term after pleading no contest in Orange County Court to one count of leaving the scene of a crash involving death, news outlets reported. Prosecutors dropped additional charges under a plea deal.
Hasan ran over a curb and hit London Harrell, 21, as she was walking home from a bar along a grass shoulder off the road in June 2019, authorities said.
