On Easter Sunday, April 12, 2009, two years ago today, Aimee Michael lost control of the BMW she was driving on Camp Creek Parkway and caused a chain-reaction accident that claimed the lives of five people, all four members of  one family and a 6-year-old girl.

Michael fled the scene but was arrested a week later after a neighbor called police.

In November 2010, a jury found Michael guilty of the charges against her for causing the accident, fleeing the scene and covering up her involvement.

Michael was given a 50-year sentence, 36 years to be served in prison with the remainder in probation.  Her mother, Sheila Michael, received a maximum of eight years in prison for her role in covering up the accident.

After last November's sentencing, Cascade Patch talked to community people at the Cascade Starbucks, 3660 Cascade Rd., about the incident and the sentencing.
