WB man sentenced to probation for fatal accident
May 30—WILKES-BARRE — The family of Troy A. Carter who died from head injuries when struck by a vehicle remembered their loved one as an athlete, weightlifter, father, son and brother during an emotional sentencing hearing for Trevon K. Norwood on Friday. To be in the company of Carter, his family said, was a privilege noting he enjoyed fishing, working out and gardening. Carter, 48, was pronounced dead on Amber Lane when he was struck by a Nissan Altima, driven by Norwood, 23, just after midnight on May 29, 2023. Carter was wearing dark clothing and had leaned against a tree when he fell onto Amber Lane that has no street lights. Wilkes-Barre police in court records say Norwood was driving alongside and behind a Volkswagen Jetta driven by his friend. The driver of the Volkswagen swerved to avoid Carter, but Norwood, who was directly behind the Volkswagen, failed to swerve, running over Carter, court records say. Norwood's attorney, Theron J. Solomon, said the incident was an accident. "To the family, I apologized for your loss. I'm very sorry," Norwood said to Carter's family at his sentencing hearing before Judge David W. Lupas. Several family members of Carter spoke about his love and kindness to others while Assistant District Attorney Daniel Marsh read a victim impact statement from Carter's mother, Denise Carter. Denise Carter, in her letter, called her first-born son a "rock" who is greatly missed. "This is a very difficult case before this court," Lupas said, advising Carter's family no sentence can bring back their loved one. Under a plea agreement reached March 21, Norwood pled guilty to involuntary manslaughter. Due to accepting responsibility by pleading guilty and having no criminal record, Lupas sentenced Norwood to three years of restrictive probation with the first year on house arrest with electronic monitoring. "All I could do is balance what is before me. No action is going to satisfy you as I'm obligated to fashion a sentence under the guidelines," Lupas said.

5 Reliable Cars That Will Have Massive Price Drops in Summer 2025
The impact of Trump's tariffs on car prices may have you thinking twice about buying a vehicle this summer. However, it's still quite possible to find good deals — and perhaps snag a reliable vehicle with a big price drop this summer. Consider These: Learn More: Here are some factors to consider as we head into the summer car buying season. 'We're entering a rare window where some of the most reliable cars on the road are also the most negotiable,' said Zach Shefska, CEO and co-founder of CarEdge. 'Models like the Nissan Altima and Subaru Legacy are being phased out, while others like the Honda Passport and Toyota RAV4 are making way for redesigned versions. That's a recipe for aggressive summer discounts.' For discerning buyers, especially those who prioritize long-term value and dependability, June and July could offer serious opportunities. Shefska said that's especially true, as dealers start clearing out inventory ahead of 2026 releases. Keep in mind that it never hurts to shop around — both at dealers and online — and negotiate for even better prices. I'm a Car Expert: Shefska shared with GOBankingRates a list of five reliable cars that'll have massive price drops this summer, along with reasons why these particular vehicles will be discounted. MSRP: $28,140-$35,970 Why it'll be discounted: Discontinued model, slow sales, high inventory MSRP: $27,980-$41,280 Why it'll be discounted: End of production, final model year clearance MSRP: $43,850-$49,920 Why it'll be discounted: Full redesign, 2026 model already available MSRP: $30,645-$40,350 Why it'll be discounted: Incoming redesign, highly competitive segment MSRP: $53,975-$71,875 Why it'll be discounted: Incoming model year, slow sales Note: Pricing information was pulled from Car and Driver.
