A 34-year-old Kansas woman is scheduled to be sentenced in October for vehicular homicide in south-central Nebraska’s Hall County.
Kathy Teichmeier, of Almena, Kan., pleaded no contest on Tuesday. In return prosecutors dropped a charge of driving on a suspended license.
The charges stemmed from a June 25 collision between Teichmeier’s vehicle and two motorcycles on Interstate 80 near Grand Island.
Officials say Teichmeier was driving east when she tried to make a U-turn. The Hall County Sheriff’s Office says Teichmeier’s vehicle clipped the rear wheel of a motorcycle driven by C. Lloyd Hermanson. He avoided crashing. But the motorcycle driven by his wife, 58-year-old Nancy Hermanson, crashed into Teichmeier’s vehicle. She died at a hospital.
Teichmeier’s sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 11.
