The man found guilty of killing two teens in a head-on crash east of Brownsville in May 2020 will serve 12.5 years in prison and never be allowed to drive again, a Linn County Circuit Court judge ruled on Wednesday.
Austyn Hillsman, 22, of Woodland, Washington, was found guilty by a 12-person jury in June of driving drunk on the night of May 23, 2020. The investigation and trial revealed that he was operating a Ford F-250 and swerved into the oncoming lane of Highway 228, striking a car driven by Caleb Simonis, 19. The other occupants of the stricken car were his sisters, Shelby Simonis, 16, and Kylee Simonis, then 15. The elder siblings, Caleb and Shelby, died as a result of the crash, while Kylee sustained severe injuries.

It had its critics, though, including some who said Carroll s character, who is the mother of a young son, was not a realistic portrayal of a black American woman in the 1960s.
