A man involved in a deadly hit-and-run crash in Austintown back in March of 2024 has learned his fate just three days after the anniversary of that crash.

A court employee tells 21 News 50-year-old James Stehura was sentenced to six years in prison on charges of aggravated vehicular homicide and failure to stop after an accident. This prison sentence is consistent with the prosecution's recommendation.

Once Stehura is released from prison, his driver's license will be suspended for another seven years.

According to a press release from the Mahoning County Prosecutor's Office, Assistant Prosecutor Kyle Hilles and former assistant prosecutor Martin Hume negotiated the final resolution of this case.

Mahoning County Prosecutor Lynn Maro commended them along with the Austintown Police Departments for their efforts in this case.

Stehura was charged in connection with a hit-and-run crash that claimed the life of 66-year-old Linda Adams, who was walking her dog on Lancaster Drive near Carlisle Avenue in Austintown on March 11, 2024.

Video of the truck Stehura was driving was captured on a Ring doorbell camera. The truck was located at an address less than half a mile away from the site of the crash.
