The fatal accident happened in March of 2015 on Weaver Road in Florence.

(Florence, Ky.) - A distracted driver that killed two young children and their grandfather has been sentenced to jail time and community service.

On Monday, Jessica Hood, 25 was sentenced to 7 ½ years in prison for the March 2015 deaths of Charles Napier and his twin 13-month-old grandchildren, reports WCPO-9.
