ANKENY, IA : Iowa man gets 30 years for hit-and-run fatal acciden on Thursday, March 23rd 2017

A drunken Iowa driver who walked away from a fatal crash has been given 30 years in prison.

William Phipps, of Boone, last month admitted being drunk when his truck slammed into the back of a car last June, killing a passenger in the car. Police say Phipps fled on foot but was caught about a half a mile away.

The Des Moines Register reports (http://dmreg.co/2nYgQQZ ) that Phipps was sentenced Thursday in Polk County District Court. Phipps’ record includes two previous convictions for operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
