Sentencing due for driver who admitted hitting DeSales coach

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – A Delaware County woman faces up to six years in prison after pleading guilty to an involuntary manslaughter charge in a crash that killed a Columbus high school coach and teacher who was riding a bicycle.

Mary Kathryn Paul, 36, also pleaded guilty in a Delaware County court last year with failing to stop after an accident.

Paul was scheduled for sentencing Monday in Delaware in a case stemming from the death of Bob Lennon, a popular teacher and running coach at St. Francis DeSales High School in Columbus.

Lennon, 64, was bicycling in Delaware County in September when he was struck by a passing driver and was left behind.

A special prosecutor handling the case has said reports from the coroner indicate Lennon died instantly.
