Man pleads guilty in crash death of WSU student

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) – A 37-year-old Wichita man will be sentenced April 12 for driving drunk and causing an accident that killed a Wichita State University student and injured two others.

Thirty-seven-year-old Tommie Lee Cameron Jr. pleaded guilty Monday to involuntary manslaughter while driving under the influence.

Cameron had been charged with second-degree murder in the July 2010 death of 21-year-old Kari Rinehart. She died when Cameron’s car crashed nearly head-on into Rinehart’s car.

Cameron also pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated battery for injuring Rinehart’s identical twin, Kati Rinehart, and friend, Reva Sams in the crash.
