It's April 21st. Welcome to Derm News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. A 25-year-old man from Diamond Bar, California just pleaded guilty in a tragic wrong-way crash that killed a Los Angeles sheriff's recruit and hurt others. Nicholas Gutierrez admitted to vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence in nine counts of reckless driving, causing injuries. The judge hit him with an eight-year suspended prison sentence and five years of probation. This all went down more than three years ago in suburban Whittier, when Gutierrez drove his SUV onto the wrong side of the road and slammed into. Recruits out on a morning run. Out of 76 recruits from the sheriff's department and local agencies running information, 25 got hit. Ten ended up with serious injuries, including Alejandro Martinez, who passed away eight months later. Authorities figured Gutierrez fell asleep at the wheel. The district attorney called this plea a step toward justice, bringing some closure to the victim's families whose lives got flipped upside down.

Forever.
