An Iowa man has been sentenced to 16 years in prison for a drag-racing crash that left a four-year-old child dead.
Prosecutors said Jones and Miller were drinking at a bar. When they left, they began racing on a four-lane road. Authorities said Miller’s car reached a speed of 108 mph before crossing over a median and striking De Catalan's vehicle. Marcos and De Catalan's 8-year-old son were passengers.
