SANDPOINT, Idaho (AP) — A Washington state motorist who killed a cyclist and injured a runner competing in a relay race in northern Idaho last summer has been granted a reduced sentence.
Thirty-one-year-old Bowdeen S. Kahuhu of Newport, Wash., had her 1-year sentence reduced Friday in 1st District Court to six months over the objections of the victim’s family.
Kahuhu killed 46-year-old Patricia Anne Lambie of Greenacres, Wash., and injured a 17-year-old Spokane-to-Sandpoint relay runner on Aug. 14 in what police said was a case of drowsy driving.
Kahuhu pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter in November and was given a year in jail.
