The driver responsible for the crash that killed former Minnesota Vikings rookie Khyree Jackson and two others last year has pleaded guilty to three counts of negligent homicide under the influence of alcohol, according to ESPN.
Cori Clingman, 25, entered the plea in a Maryland courtroom on Friday. As part of a plea agreement, she is expected to serve three years in prison. Prosecutors said they will recommend a five-year sentence for each count, with all but one year of each term suspended, to be served consecutively.
Clingman is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 4. Before the plea deal, she faced 13 total charges stemming from the July 6, 2024, crash. Authorities said she was intoxicated and driving more than 100 miles per hour when she caused a three-car collision that claimed the lives of Jackson and two of his high school teammates, Isaiah Hazel and Anthony Lytton Jr.
