1-year jail term for role in road-rage crash that killed cheerleader
EVERETT -- A 22-year-old Shoreline man was sentenced yesterday in Snohomish County Superior Court for his role in a road-rage accident that left a 16-year-old high-school cheerleader dead.
Lukasz Kutek will spend a year in jail on a misdemeanor charge of reckless driving. He pleaded guilty to the charge after a jury couldn't reach a verdict in his first trial, on more serious vehicular homicide charges.
Kutek also will be on probation for two years.
The accident occurred in April 2002, when Kutek cut ahead of Allison Arnold Jr. on State Route 104 in Edmonds.
Arnold, from Bellevue, sped through oncoming lanes and slammed into the car driven by the high-school cheerleader, Georgia Pemberton. He was convicted of vehicular homicide and sentenced to 3 1/2 years in prison.
