OMAHA, Neb. — The man convicted of hitting and killing an Iowa woman in an Omaha crash will serve years behind bars. Eswin Mejia received 20 to 22 years in prison for motor vehicle homicide and flight to avoid arrest. Mejia caused the crash that killed Sarah Root near 33rd and L streets in 2016. In December, he pleaded guilty to a charge of failure to appear and no contest to motor vehicle homicide. Authorities said Mejia was driving drunk and street racing when he rear-ended Root's car at a stoplight.
