An Auburn was sentenced today to 12 years in prison for vehicular homicide in a Dec. 29 incident that killed Emmanuel Franco of Federal Way.

Lagrant D. Pegram, 35, pleaded guilty on March 9 to the charge. King County Superior Court Judge LeRoy McCullough handed Pegram the mid-range sentence at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent on Friday.

According to reports, Pegram was traveling northbound on Pacific Highway South around 2:20 a.m. Dec. 29 when he ran a red light at South 320th Street and struck Franco’s vehicle, which was traveling westbound on South 320th Street. Franco, 21, died at the scene.

Pegram’s blood alcohol level registered at .242 shortly following the incident, according to court records.

The collision was caught on camera. The Pacific Highway South/South 320th Street intersection is monitored by both red light photo enforcement devices and Safe City cameras. Video of the incident was submitted to the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.
