A 19-year-old man has been sentenced to six months in jail after pleading guilty to charges connected to a high-speed crash in Charlotte, North Carolina, that killed two people and seriously injured a 12-year-old girl in December 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jason Anthony Scott appeared in court Wednesday, where he pleaded guilty to two counts of involuntary manslaughter and one count of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury. The charges stem from a deadly collision that occurred on Dec. 27, 2025, at the intersection of Ardrey Kell Road and Red Rust Lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to court documents, Scott will serve six months in jail, followed by three years of probation. His driving privileges will also be revoked, and he is required to provide a DNA sample as part of his sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although Scott was initially sentenced to serve at least two years and seven months in jail, Judge Matthew Osman suspended that sentence, court documents stated. As a result, Scott will serve the shorter six-month jail term under the conditions outlined by the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities said Scott was driving a BMW coupe at an extremely high rate of speed when the vehicle struck a Honda CR-V at the Charlotte intersection. According to an affidavit, Scott was traveling approximately 100 mph in a zone where the posted speed limit was 45 mph shortly before the collision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The impact was severe, causing extensive damage to the BMW’s front end. Investigators said the force of the crash pushed the Honda CR-V off the roadway and into a light pole, leaving its occupants trapped inside the wreckage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The driver of the Honda, identified as Lorin Manley, was found unresponsive and trapped inside the vehicle, according to the affidavit. A rear passenger, identified as Gloria Manley, was also found unresponsive and pinned in the right rear seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both Lorin Manley and Gloria Manley died at the scene as a result of the crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A 12-year-old girl was also riding in the Honda at the time of the collision. Authorities said she was trapped in the front passenger area of the vehicle before bystanders rushed to help and managed to remove her from the wreckage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The girl sustained serious injuries, including internal bleeding and a crushed pelvis, according to police. Her injuries highlighted the devastating consequences of the collision, which left two people dead and a child with severe physical trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Scott also suffered injuries in the crash. Officials reported that he sustained a broken arm and fractures to his back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police arrested Scott following the deadly collision and continued investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash. The investigation indicated that he had been traveling more than twice the posted speed limit before striking the Honda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sentencing brings a significant legal development in a case involving two fatalities and a seriously injured child. While Scott initially faced a sentence of at least two years and seven months in jail, the judge’s decision to suspend that term means he will serve six months behind bars and remain on probation for three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The court’s decision also includes the revocation of Scott’s driving privileges and the requirement that he provide a DNA sample.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
