RUTLAND, Vt. (AP) - A judge has sentenced a woman to one to three years probation for a crash that killed one man and injured the man’s girlfriend.
The Rutland Herald reports 31-year-old Nicole Auclair was sentenced Friday after she pleaded no contest to felony grossly negligent driving resulting in a death and misdemeanor negligent driving resulting in serious injury.
Auclair was originally facing up to 30 years in jail before she changed her plea to avoid a jury trial.
Authorities say Auclair was driving in Killington in October 2017 when she rear-ended a car and caused the car to strike a motorcycle driven by 79-year-old Michael Petralia.
Petralia died at a hospital, and his passenger, 62-year-old Aishia Fox, suffered injuries that left her unable to walk without pain.
