Wilkesboro - A truck driver was sentenced to at least three years in prison today after pleading guilty to four counts of involuntary manslaughter related to a crash last year on U.S. 421 at the base of the mountain in Wilkes County.
Curtis Issac Mondy, 48, of St. Petersburg, Fla., accepted a plea agreement in Wilkes Superior Court in connection with the deaths of George and Johnnie Wiggins, and Tom and Cheri Simon. The two couples were returning home to Ashe County after shopping for Christmas gifts when Mondy's truck overturned as it came down the mountain, slid sideways across the grassy median and hit their SUV on the evening of Oct. 26, 2007.
The Wigginses and Tom Simon died at the scene. Cheri Simon died Nov. 8, 2007, at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center.
