Driver Who Killed Peyton Knowlton, Age Eight, Gets 150 Days in Jail
Kyle Couch, 21, a onetime high school and college athlete who pleaded guilty to driving-related crimes in the 2015 accident that killed Longmont eight-year-old Peyton Knowles, has been sentenced to a maximum of 150 days in jail plus two years of probation.
The punishment was meted out after prosecutors dropped a vehicular homicide charge that fell apart over an inability to prove that Couch was under the influence of marijuana at the time of the crash.
