MANKATO — A 19-year-old man has been sentenced to a month in jail for causing a crash that killed a North Mankato couple.
Christopher Schneider pleaded guilty to careless driving in the July 2015 crash that killed 75-year-old Kathy Ohman and 74-year-old Rod Ebert. The two had left a dance performance at the Blue Earth County Fair and were headed home when Schneider blew through a stop sign and crashed into their vehicle.
The Free Press reports Schneider was driving without a license. He says he looked down to put out his cigarette just before the crash.
