A woman who crashed head-on into a pickup late last March, injuring her and the other driver, pleaded guilty to vehicular assault Thursday and was sentenced to a work-release program.
Court records said Mandy Lynn Rigby, 38, of Vancouver, was driving state Highway 500 March 4 last year when she drove onto the shoulder then turned all the way around to start going west in the eastbound lanes. Rigby then collided head-on with another vehicle.
Senior Deputy Prosecutor Kasey Vu said both Rigby and the other driver, Veniamin TsyTsyn of Vancouver, who was 23 at the time, were hurt.
Vu said TsyTsyn, among other injuries, suffered a broken hip socket and a collapsed lung. Rigby broke both ankles.
