A Marion County judge sentenced 54-year-old Lincoln Smith to 48.25 years in prison (579 months) for the crash that happened on I-5 between Salem and Albany on May 18, 2023.
Smith crashed into a van containing passengers and another semi-truck that were both parked on the shoulder along the highway. Smith went off the road while traveling north in the semi. The van was full of 10 people returning home from work and another individual was outside the vehicle when the crash happened.
Smith admitted to using methamphetamine and cocaine the night before and he tested positive for those drugs and fentanyl after the crash.
One month ago, a Marion County jury found Smith guilty of several charges related to the deadly crash.
On Tuesday, the judge sentenced Smith to 75 months for each of the seven convictions of second-degree manslaughter and 18 months for each of the three convictions of third-degree assault. A 364-day sentence for reckless driving will also run concurrently to the other charges.
