Vega sentenced to 14 years in prison for fatal 2023 Frazier Avenue crashCHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF)- ” I hope that Mr. Devia can find it in his heart to forgive me for the tragedy that has occurred.” Evidence at trial showed that Vega collided with a vehicle driven by Dr. Patrick McGinty, which sent his vehicle into a crowded sidewalk where the family was standing. Prosecutors sought out 18 years of prison time, arguing that Vega showed no remorse. However, Judge Boyd Patterson sentenced Vega to 14 years, saying this story should serve as a warning against road rage. Vega will be in prison through at least 2037, as he will credit for time served over the past three years.
