        PER CURIAM
         Defendant appeals a judgment of conviction for
second-degree assault, fourth-degree assault, attempting to
elude, reckless driving, recklessly endangering, and other
charges after he fled a traffic stop at high speed and crashed
into two cars. Defendant makes multiple assignments of
error, but most do not provide a basis for reversal. Thus,
we reject the bulk of defendant’s assignments of error without discussion and address only defendant’s contention that
the trial court erred in imposing a consecutive sentence on
Count 9. The state concedes that the trial court so erred. As
we explain below, we agree and accept the state’s concession.
         During sentencing, the trial court announced on
the record that, “[o]n Count 9, Attempt to Elude, out of the
vehicle, this is an executed jail sentence of one year, to run
concurrent to [Counts] 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.” The judgment,
however, reads that, on Count 9, “[f]or the reasons stated on
the record, this sentence shall be consecutive to sentence[s]
imposed on Count[s] 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.” Defendant contends that
the court erred in changing the sentence from the concurrent sentence expressed orally at the hearing to the consecutive sentence, imposed outside of his presence. The state
concedes that the court erred. We agree that the trial court
erred and accept the state’s concession. See State v. Rossi,

, 

 (2007) (trial court erred
in changing sentence from concurrent to consecutive outside
of the defendant’s presence and without a waiver).
        Remanded for resentencing; otherwise affirmed.
