Investigators said Chaney was driving at 92 mph in a 25 mph zone.
Angel Careathers’ brother, Cameron Careathers, addressed the court at sentencing, telling the judge that Chaney took everything from his family.
“My sister was my best friend,” Careathers said. “I couldn’t be there to protect her.”
Chaney apologized to the family.
“I feel terrible about what happened,” Chaney said. “I wish I could take the day back. I pray every day that they can find peace and joy in their hearts, because I took it away from them.”
Chaney was sentenced to 10 to 30 years in prison.
