Man Sentenced After Fatal Crash

A 59-year-old man, Rolando Miranda Martinez, has been sentenced to 180 days in jail for hitting and killing 40-year-old daycare worker Leslie Youngberg in a March crash—he pleaded guilty to leaving the scene. The collision occurred at 2 AM on March 7 at the intersection of Cliff and Nichols in Eagan; Martinez, driving a Honda CRV, struck Youngberg, who died at the hospital. A witness confirmed the vehicle didn’t stop. Martinez claimed he was scared after something “jumped out” in front of him, breaking his windshield, and that he was driving home from a Minneapolis bar—though he denied drinking. He’s already served 97 days and faces three years of supervised probation. Youngberg, a devoted mother of a 16-year-old, is remembered as a loving caregiver, with her family launching a fundraiser to support them during this devastating loss.
