Daniel Crane, 50, pleaded guilty last week to charges of vehicular homicide and following too closely in the Aug. 20 collision that killed Summer Lee. Crane was northbound on Interstate 75 in Henry County, just south of Atlanta, when his tractor-trailer hit the back of Lee’s SUV and pushed it into five other vehicles, killing her and injuring seven others, according to local media reports from the time.
