Teen-ager pleads guilty in pickup truck death

CANTON - A 17-year-old who was driving a pickup truck when another teen-ager was thrown from the back with a load of lockers has pleaded guilty to reckless driving and failure to secure a load. <br> <br> Cherokee High School senior Zachary Alan Cochran of Holly Springs was sentenced Monday to 12 months probation, Cherokee County Solicitor General Channing Ruskell said. He also must forfeit his driver&#39;s license for six months and complete a defensive driving course. <br> <br> The charges were filed after Cochran and teammate Joshua Reider, 15, were moving lockers for their school&#39;s baseball team Jan. 22, and the pickup crossed over a series of speed bumps, sending Reider and the lockers crashing to the ground. Reider died later that day.
