A Florida truck driver completed his eight-hour drivers course sentence after he was involved in an accident that left three teenagers dead, and is now hoping to have the case completely sealed from the public's view.
Frederic Ivenet, 36, from Orlando, was operating a truck in Livermore California on December 21 in 2020 when he allegedly made an illegal U turn on Las Positas Road.
The trailer of the truck was still blocking the road before being struck by an oncoming Mercedes-Benz, according to the East Bay Times.
Ivenet was initially charged with vehicular manslaughter in connection to the deaths of Rahal Brar, 18, Shej Kumar, 16, and Ian Ericksen, 16, who were inside the Mercedes that struck the truck.
However, a judge determined in September of 2025 that the driver should not be charged with the felony for only getting his truck stuck in the road.
According to Mercury News his case was decreased to three counts of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter on November 1.
If Ivenet was convicted of felonious manslaughter, he may have faced decades in prison.
The driver was offered a clean record if he plead guilty to a misdemeanor roadway obstruction charge and completed an eight-hour drivers ed course, according to the East Bay Times.

On March 11, Ivenet submitted a certificate that he'd completed a course called 'Cheapest Traffic School Online'.
Several online traffic schools that claim to be approved by the state of Florida offer its course for around just $5.
His case was dismissed and Ivenet, who has clean record, is in the process of sealing his arrest from public's view, according to court records seen by the outlet.
He remained out of jail for majority of the trial after quickly posting bail.
The trio of teens were heading home when they struck Ivenet's truck on December 21, 2020.
Ivenet was accused of turning against a sign resulting in his truck becoming stuck.
