The driver in the May 2017 crash that claimed the life of a 17-year-old Midview student on prom night has pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular homicide.
Chase Johnson, who was 18 at the time of the crash, also faced an OVI/drug charge that was dismissed. In June 2017, officials said toxicology reports revealed Johnson "had enough marijuana in his system to be considered legally intoxicated."
