EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Citing the wishes of the victim’s family, a judge in Eugene sentenced an Oregon woman to three years on probation after she pleaded guilty to criminally negligent homicide for killing a man in a crash last August.

The Register-Guard reports the prosecutor had also joined the defense attorney for 56-year-old Lyn Ingram of Lowell to ask the judge not to impose prison time.

Ingram was seriously injured when her sport utility vehicle crashed head-on into a pickup truck driven by 63-year-old Larry Daniels, who died in the accident in rural Lane County.

The prosecutor said Ingram accepted responsibility for killing Daniels, something important to the victim’s family.

With her conviction, Ingram’s driver’s license will be revoked, and she must wait eight years before even applying to have it restored.
