(KMZA)--A Lecompton man convicted on charges in a 2022 Pottawatomie County wreck that claimed the life of a Wamego man and his 7-year-old son has been sentenced to 24 months in jail, the maximum allowed under a plea agreement.

According to court documents, 44-year-old Mark Stanwix was handed the sentence last Friday in Pottawatomie County District Court.

After his jail sentence, Stanwix will have to serve 18-months probation.

He pleaded guilty in February to two counts of vehicular homicide, three counts of aggravated battery, reckless driving and texting while driving.

In exchange for the plea, a charge of interference with law enforcement was dismissed.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says Stanwix was driving a semi truck on U.S 24 Highway, just east of Wamego, on August 10th, 2022 when he rear-ended two vehicles.

Killed in the wreck was 37-year-old Randy Tinkel. His 7-year-old son, Korbin Tinkel, died from injuries three days later. Three others, including Tinkel's wife and two-year-old son, were injured in the wreck.

After sentencing, the judge immediately remanded Stanwix to the Pottawatomie County Jail.
