SANDPOINT — A Washington state man was ordered to serve 210 days in jail Tuesday for accidentally killing a motorist in a head-on collision on U.S. Highway 2 near Oldtown last year.

Christopher Dale Jewsbury tearfully apologized to the family of Amy Lynn Brady, a retired U.S. Navy veteran and single mother who was killed in the crash.

“There’s not a day that goes by where I don’t think of Amy Lynn Brady,” Jewsbury said as he turned to face the family. “I am so sorry.”

Idaho State Police said Jewsbury was driving westbound in a GMC Sierra pickup when he crossed the center line, sideswiped an oncoming sport utility vehicle and then crashed into Brady’s Chrysler 300 sedan.

Brady, a 39-year-old Pend Oreille County resident, was instantly killed in the March 14, 2014, crash. Jewsbury, 50, of Spokane, was seriously injured and wheelchair-bound for nine months after the crash.
