(AP) — A 61-year-old Georgia man has been given 270 days in a Nebraska jail following his conviction for misdemeanor vehicular homicide.

Online court records say James Smith, of Augusta, Ga., was sentenced on Monday in Lancaster County Court. He’d pleaded no contest.

Authorities say Smith’s semitrailer turned left in front of a car on Dec. 22 on a westbound ramp onto Interstate 80 in Lincoln. The collision killed 49-year-old Daniel Everhart and injured his wife, Teri. Smith repeatedly told officers and the judge at his sentencing that he hadn’t seen the car before his truck crushed it.
