Sentencing for fatal fire truck collision in Tulsa
A woman involved in a tragic collision with a Tulsa fire truck that resulted in multiple fatalities, including children and a pregnant woman, has changed her plea to no contest to the charges against her. The incident occurred earlier this year when Keiosha Rucker failed to yield to the emergency vehicle. She is now facing multiple counts of manslaughter and driving under the influence of drugs. The court is set to determine her sentence, which could range from four years to life in prison. Rucker, who is partially paralyzed from the accident, appeared in court with the support of her family and will have a sentencing hearing on December 16. The state will present evidence, while her legal team will try to mitigate the severity of the sentence by highlighting factors such as her lack of prior criminal record and the emotional impact of the situation. The state has agreed to dismiss an additional charge related to the crash.
