Mass. Man Sentenced to 60 Days for Fatal Crash

WBZTV recently reported on the outcome of a case in which a 22-year-old Lowell man was sentenced to serve 60 days in prison for a crash that killed a Texas couple last August. The two people were killed as they changed a flat tire on their travel trailer.

Wahome was found guilty of two counts of motor vehicle homicide by negligent driving for the accident in which his car drove into the breakdown lane on I-395 in Webster, crashing into the 81-year-old Robert Farner and his wife, 77-year-old Chloe Farner, of Cottonwood Shores, Texas. They were killed almost instantly.

According to the police, Wahome's fatigue and inattention were contributing factors in the crash. He was driving home from a late-night concert in New Jersey and probably didn't see the two people on the side of the road.

Wahome was sentenced on Friday. He would also lose his driver's license for 15 years and is required to serve 300 hours of community service.
