(AP) A Sargent woman has been sentenced to three months in jail for a crash last year that killed one of her daughters and a friend.
29-year-old Amanda Wilder was sentenced Monday in Buffalo County District Court on two counts of felony manslaughter. She was given four years of probation and required to get outpatient counseling.
Wilder was driving south of Miller on U.S. Highway 183 in a borrowed pickup truck last August when she lost control. Eleven-year-old Destani Wilder and 24-year-old Rebecca Veeder died at the scene. Amanda Wilder and her other daughter, who was 8 years old at the time, survived. No one was wearing seatbelts.
Prosecutors argued Wilder made a choice when she drove a vehicle without enough seatbelts.
