SKOWHEGAN — Bryan Carrier, 19, will be sentenced June 6 in connection with a fiery crash last November in Skowhegan that killed three people, including two children.

Justice Donald Alexander originally had set Carrier’s sentencing for August, but that was recently moved up to May 29 and then moved again to accommodate the schedules of the judge, attorney and prosecutor involved.

Carrier pleaded guilty on April 24 to three counts of manslaughter and three counts of aggravated operating while under the influence. The crash, which occurred at the intersection of Route 2 and East Ridge Road, claimed the lives of Arlyce Jewell, 42, and her son, Alex, 10, who were in a van traveling east on Route 2, and Elbert Knowles, 15, a passenger in Carrier’s pickup truck.

Two other people, Royce Jewell, 44, and Nicole Johnson, 17, as well as Carrier, were injured in the crash.

Handmade crosses, some decorated with personal items and one covered with the remnants of Christmas ornaments, still mark the location of the accident.

Four weeks ago, Carrier pleaded guilty to running a stop sign and plowing into the side of the van, which was tossed hundreds of feet from the impact and then burst into flames. The pickup truck also was thrown hundreds of feet from the roadway.

The first passers-by to come upon the scene told police that Royce Jewell was sitting in the van, his clothing on fire, and he had to be coaxed from the vehicle. The Jewell family lived less than a mile down the road from the crash scene. Johnson reportedly is still recovering from her injuries.

Somerset County District Attorney David Crook said he will ask for a sentence of 15 years in jail, all but seven suspended, and six years probation. Carrier’s attorney, Joseph Jabar of Waterville, said he will argue for a shorter jail term based on Carrier’s lack of a previous record.

Testimony likely will be heard from the victims’ family members and Carrier’s friends and family. The hearing may take up most of the day.
