SHELBY COUNTY, Ala. (WBRC) - A man has pleaded guilty to a murder charge in a wreck that killed a Calera man.
Hunter Spann was sentenced to 18 years in prison for the death of 28-year-old Darius Lilly. The crash happened in December of 2018 on a stretch of Highway 25 in Calera. Witnesses say Spann was trying to pass a vehicle when he collided head-on with Lilly’s car.
Lilly’s daughter was also in the car and sustained non life-threatening injuries.
Darius Lilly was killed only weeks after his youngest son, Mason, died from what the coroner describes as an “acute medical condition.”
