A recent verdict has been reached in a case involving a fatal crash on Highway 71. A man from Burnet has been convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 40 years in prison.

The conviction stems from a head-on collision that resulted in the death of a woman from Horseshoe Bay. The sentence was handed down by a Burnet County jury on Wednesday.
