According to KETK, the Rusk County District Attorney’s Office reports Ashley Marcella Kubiak was sentenced to 180 days in jail probated for five years.

Officials say Sandra Jones, 63, and Shari Standard, 22, both of Henderson, were killed after Kubiak rammed into the back of their SUV with her truck. The force was so great, the impact sent the SUV into oncoming traffic, where the victims were then hit by another truck. A six-year-old boy was also in the SUV at the time of the crash. He was injured and taken to a Dallas hospital.
