Jason Ray Clark was at the wheel of a car that hit another car broadside during a street race.
He was going about 70 miles per hour when the accident happened. Clark also got up to 36 months' probation, and his license has been suspended.

I dont think hitting someone at 70 is terms to give them almost 2 years in jail. Whether he was racing or not (unless speed limit was 25mph) but thats only 25 over if speed limit is 45. Seems kinda harsh to me but a simple wreckless driving accident. It sucks that someone was paralyzed but thats the only reason he got jail time if you ask me. A question, why does he need a license in jail anyways or did they suspend for a LOT longer than 2 years?
