Thomas Appleton sentenced to 10 years in death of 18-year-old Samuel Taylor in Sept. 2012 street racing crash in Charlottesville, Virginia

Charlottesville, VA

A man convicted of participating in a street race wreck that killed another man will spend a year in prison. Thomas Appleton received a 10-year sentence Wednesday in Albemarle Circuit Court. Judge Cheryl Higgins then suspended nine years of the sentence. Appleton also will lose his driver's license for a year. Higgins says he must then petition the court for the license's reinstatement. Prosecutors say Appleton and 18-year-old Samuel Taylor were racing on Sept. 5, 2012, when their vehicles collided. Taylor's car ran off the road, hit a stump, went airborne and crashed into a tree.
