A 31-year-old Philadelphia man was sentenced Friday in New Jersey state court to eight years in prison in connection with a 2015 car crash in Egg Harbor Township that killed the passenger in the vehicle he was driving, prosecutors said.

Rashad E. Caswell pleaded guilty in April to first-degree aggravated manslaughter for the death of Cierra J. Goodman, 27, of Sharon Hill.

Caswell was driving Goodman's 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix without a valid driver's license on Feb. 28, 2015, when he veered off the Atlantic City Expressway and down a steep embankment into a tree. Goodman was pronounced dead at the scene.
