The driver involved in a deadly cycling crash in Goodyear in February 2023 has been sentenced after pleading guilty to a dozen misdemeanor counts.
More than two years after the crash happened, Pedro Quintana Lujan pleaded guilty to 12 misdemeanor counts for either causing death or injury by a moving violation.
During a court hearing Thursday, Quintana Lujan was sentenced to one year in jail and three years of probation. The judge sentenced him to six months for one count and six months for a second count, to run consecutively.
Additionally, Lujan will have his driving privileges suspended for 180 days and will pay a fine of at least $2,500.
“There’s a certain part of finality that this is coming to its conclusion,” said Clay Wells, a victim in the crash. Wells was the last of the victims in the crash to get out of the hospital and has since been recovering.
