A Bolingbrook man whose street racing caused a crash that killed two people was sentenced Tuesday to six months in jail.
DuPage County prosecutors had asked for a 12-year prison sentence for Jordan Gant for the Sept. 25, 2018, crash on Stearns Road in Bartlett.
I m truly sorry for my involvement in this situation, said Gant, calling it a mistake. He said he prays for the families of the victims every day.
The judge took into account that Gant had no previous criminal history.
Gant s mother and the senior pastor of the church they attend testified that Gant is someone who cares about other people and volunteers at the church and charitable organizations.
