Now, a man has been sentenced to prison in the case.

Authorities said 24-year-old Jayden Chase was the driver. He pleaded no contest to two felonies in the case and was sentenced late last week to more than seven years in prison.

At the spot where striker Seth Webb died after being hit by the truck, a shrine is still here in his memory.
