A man from Lincoln involved in a deadly car crash in New Vineyard was sentenced today to six months in jail.

But a judge in Franklin County immediately suspended the sentence, pending an appeal.

23-year-old Ryan Hurd was found guilty in May of letting a drunk friend drive his car.

He was cleared on the more serious charge of manslaughter.

A man from Dover-Foxcroft died in the crash in 2007 - another man from Medway was seriously hurt.

Hurd's lawyer maintains Hurd wasn't behind the wheel when his car hit a utility pole and caught fire.
