Several Minnesota families saw justice served on Thursday morning after five young women were killed in a high-speed crash two summers ago in Minneapolis.

Derrick Thompson on Thursday was sentenced to more than 58 years in prison for a 2023 crash that killed five women in south Minneapolis.

Two years after the fact, Derrick John Thompson finally admitted Thursday that he was driving the car that killed five young women in a Minneapolis crash. His confession and plea for forgiveness in Hennepin County District Court didn’t save him from a sentence of nearly 59 years in prison.
