A man charged in a deadly 2021 wrong-way crash on Huntsville Interstate 565 was sentenced Monday.

Jacob Scott Stephens pleaded guilty to two reckless murder charges and two counts of first degree assault.

He was sentenced to 60 years in prison for the two reckless murder charges and 40 years for the two first degree assault charges, with the sentences to be served concurrently, according to WHNT. That means his longest sentence would be a 30-year reckless murder term.

WAFF reported that Stephens did not give any remarks before being walked out of the courtroom.

Hannah Leigh Parton, and Arlene Veronica Velasquez, 47, died following the incident that happened after 2:30 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 27, 2021.

The crash happened at the eastbound interchange between I-565 and U.S. 72 near Chapman Mountain.

Huntsville Police traffic homicide investigators said that a vehicle traveling west in the eastbound lanes on I-565, a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado, caused the wreck. The wrong-way driver, later identified as Stephens, first struck a vehicle, killing Velasquez, a passenger in that vehicle.

The car then struck a second vehicle driven by Parton, killing her.

Another five people in the vehicle with Velasquez were injured in the crash.

It was more than 10 months later, on Oct. 5, 2022, that Huntsville police announced the arrest of Jacob Scott Stephens, 28, of Athens, charging him with two counts of reckless murder, two counts of first degree assault, and one count of reckless endangerment in connection with the crash.
