CHANDLER, Ariz — The wrong-way driver accused of killing a respected mixologist in 2021 has been sentenced to 11.5 years in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter, court records show.
Hannah M. Dike, 27, was convicted this week in Maricopa County Superior Court of recklessly causing a crash that took the life of 31-year-old Robert "Bobby" Kramer.
The victim was known in the East Valley community for working as the beverage director at both the Brickyard Downtown and Hidden House in Chandler. Kramer left behind a wife and young son, according to the Phoenix New Times.
At the time of the crash, authorities said Dike was driving eastbound in the westbound lanes of Interstate 10 near Chandler Boulevard before hitting Kramer's vehicle.
Dike pleaded guilty last month to manslaughter, which carries a presumptive prison sentence of 10.5 years.
