A 72-year-old man will serve 30 days in jail for losing control of his pickup truck on a rural Twin Cities road and fatally hitting a teenager who was bicycling home one summer's evening last year.
Joseph B. Friedges, of Lakeville, was sentenced Wednesday in Scott County District Court after pleading guilty to failure to notify law enforcement of a crash with injuries, a gross misdemeanor, and two misdemeanor counts: careless driving and having open liquor in a vehicle.
Dismissed as part of the plea deal with prosecutors were two felony counts of criminal vehicular homicide - alleging gross negligence and being under the influence of alcohol - in connection with the crash on July 1, 2022, that killed Braxton C. Sorenson, 15, on a road a block away from his family's Elko New Market home.

He gets 30 days for killing someone under the influence of alcohol. Really?? Because of his age or what. Yet, someone gets their license taken away because of failure to pay child support drives and after third offense gets a year in jail. But you want him to pay child support but no way to get to work. This country sucks.
