UPDATE: A year and a half after losing teen in crash, mom says she has some peace

UPDATE:
Andrew Marsh was sentenced to 28 years in prison on April 9, 2015.

ORIGINAL STORY:

A Colorado Springs mom says she has some peace, after a man responsible for a crash that killed her son was convicted.

Andrew Marsh was found guilty of Child Abuse-Knowing/Reckless Causing Death, Vehicular Homicide-Reckless Driving, Child Abuse Resulting in Serious Bodily Injury and other counts.

The accident happened in September 2013. Police said Marsh’s truck slammed into a car waiting at a red light on Highway 85/87 in Fountain. That car was pushed into the vehicle in front of it. Jamie Steckler, 13, was inside the middle car and died in the accident.

“We won’t ever get him back,” the boy’s mom, Regina Steckler, said. “But at least we know that my son will be at rest now.”

Steckler said she was in court every day of the trial, even though it wasn’t easy.

“Things you just forgot about, and it’s in your face. You can see it, relive it, it’s reliving it again,” she said. “So it’s really, really tough to be there every single day, to hear everything all over again.”

Marsh will be sentenced in April.
