Driver Convicted in Crash Severing Teen Volleyball Player's Legs

Daniel Riley faces nearly 19 years in prison for the 2023 accident that resulted in Janae Edmondson losing her legs.

Daniel Riley, 22, was found guilty of second-degree assault, armed criminal action, fourth-degree assault, and driving without a valid license.
The jury recommended an 18-year and nine-month sentence for Riley, with sentencing scheduled for April 18.
Janae Edmondson, 17, had both legs amputated after being pinned between two vehicles in St. Louis while visiting for a volleyball tournament.
Edmondson has undergone nearly 30 surgeries since the accident and is suing Riley and the city of St. Louis.
The case prompted efforts to remove then-St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner from office, leading to her resignation three months later.
