LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A Lincoln woman has been sentenced to probation and community service for causing the death of an 81-year-old man in a traffic crash.
Laurie Clemans had been scheduled to be sentenced Friday after pleading no contest to misdemeanor motor vehicle homicide in September. However, Judge Timothy Phillips sentenced Clemans on Nov. 20 to two years of probation, a $500 fine and 240 hours of community service.
Clemans was charged after a March 30 crash at the intersection of Old Cheney Road and Nebraska Highway 2 that killed Monty McMahon, of Lincoln.
Police say a car driven by McMahon was struck by Clemans’ vehicle as Clemans tried to turn left. McMahon was pronounced dead at a Lincoln hospital.
