A 37-year-old man from Ohio who fled the scene of a fatal road incident after his tire fell off his truck and went through the windshield of an 18-year-old Kentucky woman’s car will spend several years behind bars for his actions.

A Kentucky judge on Thursday ordered Ricky Raider to serve a sentence of seven years in a state correctional facility for causing the death of Lauren Collins, authorities confirmed to Law&Crime.

Raider — who was caught on a taped jailhouse phone call confessing to watching the deadly collision — last month pleaded guilty to one count of leaving the scene of an accident with death or serious physical injury and one count of being a first-degree persistent felony offender in connection to Collins’ death in June 2023, according to Boone & Gallatin County Commonwealth’s Attorney Louis Kelly.
