Former Police Officer Sentenced for San Antonio Car Crash Death

A former San Antonio police officer has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for a 2008 car crash that killed another officer.
 
The fatal Bexar County accident occurred on November 28, 2008 at the intersection of Potranco Road and Hunt Lane in San Antonio. Police officer, David Seaton was driving at an estimated 100 miles per hour in response to a low-priority shoplifting call.  Neither his siren nor overhead lights were on at the time of the crash.
