Sentencing is scheduled in August for a Columbiana man who pleaded guilty to fifteen charges filed in connection with the traffic death of a Hanoverton woman.

Forty-year-old Gerald Jackson pleaded guilty to all the charges handed up in an indictment alleging that he drove a stolen pickup truck into an oncoming car, causing fatal injuries to 47-year-old Jennifer Hunley.

Investigators say the hatchback Hunley was driving on August 6 last year was struck head-on by a stolen Chevy Silverado that had crossed the center line on a curve of Teegarden Road in Center Township.

 Hunley died 43 days later while in hospice care.

According to the indictment, Gerald Jackson was driving the stolen pickup truck which was being pursued by authorities at the time of the crash.

Hunley was taken to Mercy Hospital with serious injuries.  Jackson, who suffered minor injuries, went to Salem Hospital.

According to the crash report, Jackson was under the influence of amphetamines, marijuana, and opiates at the time of the accident.

On Monday, Jackson pleaded guilty to charges including aggravated vehicular homicide, involuntary manslaughter, vehicular assault, OVI, driving with a suspended license, auto theft, failure to comply with a police order, attempted breaking and entering, vandalism, and receiving stolen property.

Sentencing is scheduled for August 8 and 11:15 a.m.
