A TRUCK DRIVER who slammed his rig into an Infiniti sedan on the Schuylkill Expressway in 2009, killing a Fort Washington man, pleaded guilty in federal district court yesterday to charges that he falsified his driver's logs.
Valerijs Nikolaevish Belovs, 58, of Somerton, could face 10 to 16 months behind bars when he is sentenced next March.
Commercial-truck drivers, who must certify that their logs are accurate, are not supposed to drive more than 11 hours a day without resting for at least 10 hours. The feds' plea memo said that Belovs told state troopers after the accident on Jan. 23, 2009, that he'd driven more than the allowed hours and falsified his logs.
