A Trussville woman has pleaded guilty in the 2021 DUI crash that killed a man while he was sitting in the middle of a Jefferson County road.

Lyndsay Sara Bland, now 33, was initially charged and later indicted on a reckless manslaughter charge in the Aug. 1, 2021, death of 29-year-old Enrique Edward Millan Jr.

Bland on Monday pleaded guilty to criminally negligent homicide, which is a misdemeanor. The plea was made before Jefferson County Circuit Judge Alaric May.

Under the plea agreement, Bland was sentenced to one year in the Jefferson County Jail with that sentenced suspended. She will be on unsupervised probation for two years.

The crash happened at 3:12 a.m. that Sunday at the intersection of Queenstown Road and Alabama Boulevard near the Trussville area. Jefferson County sheriff’s officials said deputies had received a call that a man was sitting in the road.

Moments later, they received a second call from a woman stating she had struck a person who was sitting in the road.

Bland, driving a Honda Accord, was on the wrong side of the road and under the influence of alcohol, according to court records.

Bland was represented by attorney Whitney Polson and Mark Polson. Jefferson County Deputy District Attorney Foster Marshall prosecuted the case.
