Colorado Gov. Jared Polis Thursday reduced the prison sentence of Rogel Aguilera-Medero, the truck driver who was convicted in a 2019 deadly crash, by a century, reducing from 110 years to 10 years.

“After learning about the highly atypical and unjust sentence in your case, I am commuting your sentence to 10 years and granting you parole eligibility on December 30, 2026,” Polis wrote in a letter (pdf) to Aguilera-Medero.
