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.
