Drunk Driver Gets 6 Months in Prison for Fatal Mansfield Crash

By JASON CLAFFEY (Patch Staff)

A Seekonk woman admitted to driving drunk when she crashed on the highway in Mansfield last year, killing her teenage passenger.

Jenna Lombardo, 20, was sentenced this week to six months in prison. She will also lose her driver’s license for 15 years, according to the Associated Press.

Authorities said Lombardo was driving about 100 mph when she lost control of her 2000 Toyota Camry on Route 495 in Mansfield. The vehicle spun around several times and struck a tree.

Christopher Hutcheon, 19, of Attleboro, was killed. His twin brother, Cameron, was seriously hurt and survived. A fourth passenger—an 18-year-old from Attleboro, suffered minor injuries.

There has been an ongoing fundraiser in Hutcheon’s memory.
