GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) - A Lincoln woman has entered a plea and been convicted of misdemeanor motor vehicle homicide in a fatal December crash in Grand Island.

The Grand Island Independent reports (https://bit.ly/2qUJ9nT ) that 35-year-old Sheri Jindra pleaded no contest Wednesday in Hall County Court for the Dec. 11 crash that killed 41-year-old Melissa Brown.
