A St. Louis driver has been found guilty in a crash that severed a teen athlete’s legs

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A man who was out on bond when he crashed into and severely injured a teen athlete in St. Louis last year has been found guilty in the crash. Prosecutors say a jury convicted 22-year-old Daniel Riley on Thursday of second-degree assault and armed criminal action. He also was found guilty of fourth-degree assault and driving without a valid license. Prosecutors say Riley was suspected of robbery and out on bond when he sped through a St. Louis intersection in February 2023. He hit another car and then a parked car, pinning 17-year-old Janae Edmondson between two vehicles and severing her legs. The jury recommended a term of nearly 19 years in prison when Riley is sentenced next month.
