A San Antonio police officer who nearly died because of a distracted driver continues to share his recovery story.

A man who killed a San Antonio teenager in a 2017 distracted-driving crash was sentenced Thursday to serve six months in jail and 10 years probation.

Paul Soechting, 27, entered the guilty plea during a hearing late last week in front of Judge Frank Castro.

Paul Soechting, 27, is accused of driving his Jeep Rubicon into the back of the car Emily was riding in while it was at a standstill in traffic on Loop 1604, crushing the 13-year-old inside.

A grandfather was behind the wheel as his granddaughter sat in the backseat.
