UVALDE, Texas – The driver charged in the deaths of 13 people in a bus crash near Uvalde has been sentenced to 55 years.
Jack Dillon Young was driving a truck that crashed into a church bus in March 2017.
Last month, the National Transportation and Safety Board released a report saying Young's use of marijuana and a sedative contributed to the crash.
According to the report, Young had taken twice the prescribed amount of the sedative prior to the crash.
The bus was returning from a senior retreat when the crash happened. The reports states that the bus lacked seat belts, which might have prevented some of the deaths.
Young pleaded no contest earlier this year.
