A Palm Beach County man has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for his involvement in a crash that left a bicyclist dead.
Paul Maida, 33, was sentenced Monday. He was convicted in July of leaving the scene of a fatal crash in April 2014, driving with a suspended license and filing a false report.
He was acquitted of a DUI manslaughter charge.
Authorities say 65-year-old George Morreale was riding his bike on a Boca Raton street in 2014 when he was fatally struck by a pickup truck.
Maida tried to blame his ex-girlfriend, 27-year-old Bianca Fichtel.
She had initially been charged but later turned emails over to prosecutors that pointed to Maida driving at the time of the crash.
