A Eugene man has been sentenced to ten years in prison for his role in a fatal crash that killed an EMT.

In September of 2021 Shane McVay was driving a log truck on Highway 126 when the loaded trailer tipped over, killing 25-year-old Sarah Susman and injuring another man.

Last week McVay was convicted of Manslaughter, DUII, and two counts of Reckless Endangerment.

He was sentenced this week.

In a statement to our newsroom, Lane County Deputy District Attorney Elle McCall said Susman's death was a very difficult loss for the first responders in the area.
