A guilty plea to manslaughter is a conviction, and 10 years is the term that plea set. Henry died in a bike lane, and he left the scene. The sentence does not bring her back.

Eric Hodge, 47, was sentenced Tuesday to 10 years in prison for the hit-and-run death of Hannah Henry, 26. He pleaded guilty in Maricopa County Superior Court to manslaughter and leaving the scene of a fatal accident. After prison he will be on probation for five years, and his driver's license was revoked. He was credited for time already served.

On the morning of Feb. 8, 2026, Henry was riding in a bike lane near Central Avenue and Elwood Street in Phoenix when Hodge's vehicle hit her. She died at the scene. Police said he was on fentanyl and left to get more.

Henry was an Arizona State graduate and a two-time NCAA triathlon champion.
