A man involved in a multi-vehicle accident on a Phoenix freeway that injured six people including himself in 2015 has been sentenced to 18 1/2 years in prison.
Hicks was sentenced on two counts of aggravated assault and one count each of leaving the scene of a serious injury accident and possession of dangerous drugs for sale.
Phoenix police say the 32-year-old Hicks fled from a traffic stop after a September 2015 crash because he had 15 pounds of illegal drugs that he allegedly planned to sell.
A police officer had pulled Hicks' vehicle over and asked him to step out after drugs were detected.
Instead, Hicks fled and caused a crash.
