MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A woman was sentenced in a crash that killed a Milwaukee veteran earlier this year on Thursday, Dec. 5.

Twenty-five-year-old Ellastaysha Harris was sentenced to 15 years behind bars for a reckless driving crash that killed 50-year-old Jason Stark. Stark was a courier for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. 

The crash happened at the intersection of Appleton and Burleigh the night of May 11.

According to a criminal complaint, officers in the area witnessed a Ford Flex, later determined to be driven by Harris, traveling eastbound on W. Appleton Avenue at a high rate of speed. One of the officers reported watching the Ford pass multiple vehicles on the right in an unsafe manner before disregarding a red traffic signal at W. Nash Street. 

Police said they made a U-turn to follow the vehicle, but the Ford was traveling so fast it was a few blocks ahead. As they approached the intersection of Burleigh and Appleton, officers said they found the Ford Flex had been involved in a crash with two other vehicles, including a Nissan Rogue and Mitsubishi. 

The complaint says the officers spoke with Harris on scene, who said that she was on her way to her sister who was in an "emergency position" and that she was sorry for speeding. 

Police say two occupants of the Nissan Rogue were located conscious and were taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of the Mitsubishi, later identified as Jason Stark, was found unresponsive and died of his injuries on May 12. 

Court documents show that Harris entered a guilty plea at the sentencing.
