A North Dakota man has been sentenced to ten years in prison, with one year suspended, for a crash that seriously injured a woman during the 2024 Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
Thirty-seven-year-old Robert Shipp pleaded guilty in October to vehicular battery. Prosecutors say Shipp was riding a motorcycle at the Buffalo Chip Campground on August 10th when he struck pedestrian Aaften Wesbrock.
Wesbrock suffered a traumatic brain injury. Her family told the court she will never fully recover.
Shipp was sentenced on Friday in Meade County.
