Man sentenced to 20 years for head-on crash that killed Janesville mom

JANESVILLE, Wis. (WTVO) — Mark McCoy, 51, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for a fatal head-on crash in April 2023 that killed a Janesville mother.

According to Rock County District Attorney Jason Sanders, McCoy had been up late and drinking on April 23rd, 2023, the day he crossed the center line near S. County Road D and W. Hanover Road, slamming head-on into a vehicle driven by Susan Hohmann, 54.

Hohmann died at the scene.

At his trial in January, the jury was uncertain that McCoy was intoxicated, but convicted him on charges of second-degree reckless homicide and negligent homicide by operation of a motor vehicle.

Prosecutor Verity Altenberger said at McCoy’s sentencing, “He did not get behind the wheel intending to kill her, but he made every choice that killed her.”

McCoy becomes eligible for parole in 10 years.
