Raymond Clifford of Orange City, Florida, pleaded No contest on three misdemeanor counts of vehicular homicide, according to online records filed in Cambridge Municipal Court.

He was sentenced to serve 180 days in Jail for all three charges, which will be served concurrently, meaning he will serve them at the same time, according to court records.

Clifford also received a suspended credit of 23 days, which lowered his sentence to 157 days in jail.

As News Center 7 previously reported, Clifford was driving a 2018 Freightliner commercial vehicle west on I-70 when it went off the left side of the roadway, crossed the median, and then struck a guardrail and a Nissan Versa carrying 45-year-old Nathan Johnson and his two daughters, Savannah, 15, and Karaline, 13.

Both Savannah and Karaline died at the scene, according to an Ohio State Highway Patrol crash report.

Nathan was taken to Ohio Health Hospital of Cambridge where he died.
