WWE legend Tammy Sytch has been sentenced to 17 years in prison for her involvement in a car crash that killed a 75-year-old man.
It comes three months after she pleaded no contest to the charges against her – including a charge of driving under the influence causing death.
Sytch, 50, was driving a sedan in March 2022 when he crashed into a vehicle driven by Julian Lasseter and stopped at a red light near Ormond Beach, Florida.
Police said her blood alcohol level was about three times the legal limit.
She was jailed for ten and a half years for driving with a suspended license causing death, and a further seven years for manslaughter under the influence of alcohol. She is also on probation for eight years.
According to TMZ, she addressed the victim’s family in court, where she appeared in an orange jumpsuit, saying, “I know my words are not enough, but please know that I think of you every day.”
The 50-year-old appeared in court in handcuffs and apparently burst into tears during her speech.
