Overview
- A Wayne County judge sentenced Tammy Sandoval, 55, to 5 to 15 years for causing death and a concurrent 3 to 5 years for causing serious injury.
- Sandoval pleaded guilty in November to operating while license suspended causing death and serious injury, with the remaining counts dismissed under the deal.
- The June 29, 2025 crash on Merriman Road in Livonia struck Tia Robinson and her 3-year-old twins as they crossed after the Livonia Spree fireworks, killing Khalil Robinson.
- Sandoval fled the scene but was arrested the next day, and state records show her license was suspended in August 2024 after she refused a roadside DUI test.
- The court ordered more than $7,000 in restitution, and family statements described the mother’s continuing hospitalization and the twin’s treatment and release.
