MIAMI (AP) - A judge ordered a 72-year-old Miami man to serve 10 years in prison for a 2009 hit-and-run crash that killed a businessman.
The Miami Herald (http://hrld.us/RtXG11 ) reports Charles Bible will also serve 10 years of probation in the death of 36-year-old Rudy Garmendia. Garmendia's family agreed to Wednesday's plea deal to spare his family of the "gruesome details" of his death.
Authorities say Garmendia was changing a flat tire on the Dolphin Expressway when he was hit by Bible's truck. Bible fled but the Florida Highway Patrol found his truck within an hour.
The Herald reports Bible was shaking and struggling to speak in court as he apologized to the family.
