A St. Louis man who ran a red light before causing a crash that killed four people in 2023 was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in prison.
Cedric Dixon, 35, agreed to plead guilty to four counts each of manslaughter and second-degree assault, and one count of leaving the scene of an accident. Instead, prosecutors dropped the armed criminal action charge.
