A US woman, whose car accidently ran over an Indian student last year, has been sentenced to four years in jail by an Ohio court.
The 27-year-old Hankinson crossed a red light, struck another car with her sports utility vehicle and spun up onto the sidewalk, pushing the victim into the Hocking River on June 30 last year, police said.
Abhishek Singh (22), who hailed from Faizabad district of Uttar Pradesh in India, was a graduate student at Ohio University.
As part of her sentence, Hankinson has agreed to pay $15,465 in restitution to the deceased's family while walking across the bridge.
However, his body was found the next day in the Hocking River.
In a plea deal with prosecutors, she also has had driver's license suspended for eight years, besides admitting that she was drunk at the time of the incident.

What's the point about the caption? Is it to say that the US judiciary is not racist? Or is to say there was special consideration?
To my mind, it's about an accident case. What makes it a special case to be reported about? Can someone say the specificities about this case as different from the possibly many such cases that are before the Courts?
