MINOT, N.D. (AP) - A Minot woman who pleaded guilty to negligent homicide in a fatal Ward County crash two years ago has been sentenced to two years in prison.

Authorities say 35-year-old Cocoa Cummings was speeding while driving a pickup truck that collided head-on with another vehicle near Plaza in August 2015, killing the other driver. Twenty-six-year-old Brittany Westman died at the scene.

Cummings pleaded guilty in April and was sentenced Friday. She’ll be on probation for three years following her prison term.
