A central Iowa man will serve 30 days in jail and pay a $100 fine for leaving the scene of a crash that killed an Urbana teen and Iowa State University student last December.

Benjamin Clague, 24, pleaded guilty to failure to report a crash during a sentencing hearing Friday afternoon in Story County.

Emmalee Jacobs, 18, of Urbana was killed when Clague hit her while driving a CyRide bus near Ash Avenue and Lincoln Way in Ames. Prosecutors said Clague left the scene of the crash and didn't return after realizing he may have been involved.

"Words cannot even explain how we feel," Brad Jacobs, Emmalee's father, said during an emotional victim impact statement. "My wife and I raised our children to have a sense of right and wrong and to respect all others."

"[Emmalee] was quiet and humble, but once you knew her you loved her sense of humor," Ann Jacobs, Emmalee's mother, said during a second emotional impact statement. "She was an excellent role model for her peers."

Clague was initially charged with leaving the scene of a crash resulting in death and failure to obey a traffic signal, but settled on a plea agreement earlier this week. Many people have since voiced concerns about the light sentence that accompanied the agreement.

"I find that gutless and heartless," Brad Jacobs said of Clague's decision to not come forward after the deadly crash. "This pain will never go away for us."

"Our lives will never be the same," said Ann Jacobs.

Emmalee's brother and sister also delivered emotional statements in court Friday.

Clague did not make a statement in court to the Jacob's family when given an opportunity.
