Sean Woulfe pleaded guilty in July to reckless homicide for causing the 2017 car accident in Beecher that killed Lindsey Schmidt and her three children, Owen, 6, Weston, 4, and Kaleb, 19 months.
Lindsey Schmidt and her three sons died from injuries after a 2002 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck driven by Sean Woulfe went through a stop sign at the intersection of Corning Road and Yates Avenue in unincorporated Washington Township.
Woulfe, who has been in custody since July, sat during most of the sentencing hearing with his head down standing to make a statement before the judge handed down the sentence. Lenard said Woulfe did not have a prior criminal history, has led a law-abiding life and never intended to cause a fatal car accident. Woulfe was not on his cellphone and did not have drugs or alcohol in his system at the time of the crash, Lenard said. After the accident, Woulfe asked first responders how the passengers in Schmidt’s vehicle were doing, showing concern, Lenard told Rippy.
Lindsey was a loving and beautiful daughter, wife, mother and friend, Italiano read. Kaleb was a sweet boy who did not get to celebrate his second birthday. Weston was happy to attend vacation Bible school that day and Owen loved school and his friends and had a bright future.
