Hussain was sentenced to an indeterminate term of 5 to 15 years in prison. The state’s parole board will determine when Hussain will be released after he serves the minimum.

A former limousine company manager has been sentenced to at least five years in prison for his role in a crash that killed 20 people in rural New York. Nauman Hussain, 33, was convicted of manslaughter earlier this month after prosecutors argued that he intentionally failed to properly maintain an SUV-style stretch limo, which then failed to brake on a downhill stretch of road in Schoharie, a village west of Albany.

The sentencing took place on Wednesday and Judge Peter Lynch sentenced Hussain to an indeterminate term of 5 to 15 years in prison. The state’s parole board will determine when Hussain will be released after he serves the minimum.

During the hearing, some people who lost loved ones spoke directly to Hussain before the judge announced the sentence.

The limo’s driver along with all seventeen passengers and two bystanders were killed in the crash making it one of deadliest U.S. road wrecks over past two decades.

Hussains lawyer Lee Kindlon plans file appeal against decision made by the court.
