LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Kennan Jackson, the driver accused of killing 18-year-old Arbor View High School senior McKenzie Scott, was sentenced to serve the maximum time in prison under Nevada law for felony DUI.

In a Las Vegas courtroom on Monday, Jackson faced Judge Mary Kay Holthus, who passed the sentence.

Prosecutors had asked Judge Mary Kay Holthus to impose the maximum sentence possible for DUI resulting in death: eight to 20 years in the Nevada Department of Corrections.

"What occurred was a fatal collision that devastated a family, devastated a high school — what it was not was an accident," prosecutors told Judge Holthus. "There was nothing accidental about what happened that morning."

On May 2, Scott was crossing the street outside Arbor View High School when she was hit by a car.
