OMAHA, NE – According to WOWT, the hit-and-run driver who allegedly struck and killed a pedestrian near S 23rd St and Castelar St on Feb. 16 was sentenced to prison on Monday.

Authorities arrested Miguelangel Bringshimback in March and charged him with manslaughter and failure to stop and render aid.

Bringshimback pleaded “no contest” to leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death and motor vehicle homicide as part of a plea deal in September.
