This podcast is an interview with assistant Brazos County district attorney Nathan Wood and WTAW's Bill Oliver.

On December 8, 2017, a crash in College Station on University near Tarrow took the life of a retired Brazos County clerk's office employee and injured her son and a person riding in the other vehicle.

The week before the third anniversary of the crash, a plea agreement was approved November 30 in Brazos County district court, where a College Station man admitted to manslaughter and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Assistant district attorney Nathan Wood says investigators determined Madeen Maredia was driving 87 miles per hour two seconds before the collision.

After the court appearance, Maredia, who was 17 at the time of the crash, began serving 60 days in jail as one condition of probation.

Wood says probation also includes Maredia returning to jail in 2021 to serve time the day before, the day of, and the day after the crash.

Other conditions include Maredia writing a letter of apology to the victim's family and not receive a speeding ticket.

There is also a $2,500 dollar fine and a requirement to do at least 10 hours of community service each month until a total of 200 hours are completed.
