A Johnson County judge has sentenced a Shawnee man to serve more than three years in prison for a February accident that killed a Kansas University graduate student from France.

District Judge John P. Bennett sentenced Steven Cummins, 26, who pleaded guilty in June to involuntary manslaughter and aggravated battery.

Cummins was driving a vehicle on Feb. 7 during an accident that killed Dimitri Mavridorakis, 23, a KU graduate student in business from Saint-Étienne, France.

Mavridorakis was helping a friend with car trouble along Shawnee Mission Parkway in Merriam when a Dodge Dakota drove up from behind and hit him.

On Thursday, Bennett also sentenced Cummins to serve 32 months in prison for the aggravated battery charge, but the judge said Cummins could serve the two sentences at the same time.
