A Hamilton County woman and man both pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide in connection with separate fatal crashes.

Chrissy Everett, 24, was sentenced to 10 years in prison by Criminal Court Judge Amanda Dunn.

Everett recklessly killed Brian Hatfield by operation of a motor vehicle June 17, 2021, the indictment states.

She also pleaded guilty to two counts of vehicular assault, two counts of reckless aggravated assault and one count of financial responsibility as part of a deal with prosecutors, a Sept. 20 judgment document shows.

Everett recklessly caused serious bodily injury to Chad and Hannah Lambert and bodily injury to Charity and Ian Lambert in the crash, according to the indictment.
