Two Orange County motorcyclists have each been sentenced to six years in prison in connection with a 2008 Lake Forest car accident that killed a 46-year-old husband and father, according to a news report.
Blaise Aaron Meadows, 21, of Orange and Daniel Cody Burkett, 25, of Santa Ana pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence charges in causing the death of Andrew Parker on April 25, 2008. According to court records, Meadows and Burkett were riding together at speeds of more than 100 mph when Meadows crashed into the back of Parker’s Alfa Romeo, causing it to crash into a light pole and flip over in a nearby parking lot.
Parker was trapped in his vehicle and had to be cut out; he was pronounced dead at the scene from blunt force trauma.
