FARGO (KFGO) – A Moorhead man will not spend any time in jail or prison after a Cass County District judge accepted a plea agreement in a distracted driving case.
44-year-old Jason Olsonoski was speeding and on social media when he slammed into an SUV that was stopped on Highway 18 south of Hunter, North Dakota in Sept. of 2021.
A woman and two children were in the SUV. They were injured. The SUV was then forced into the other lane where it struck a car driven by 81-year-old Richard Nelson of Devils Lake. Nelson and his 69-year-old, passenger, Marilyn Sandbeck, were killed.
Olsonoski was given credit for the 91 days he spent on electronic monitoring. He was also ordered to do 300 hours of community service through the state’s Vision Zero or similar safety program.
