NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) — A Stapleton woman charged after a collision that killed her daughter and injured her 3-year-old granddaughter has taken a plea deal.

Vicky Allen pleaded no contest on Monday and was convicted of manslaughter and driving under the influence, causing injury. Prosecutors lowered the changes in exchange for Allen’s pleas. Sentencing for the 59-year-old woman is scheduled for Jan. 25.

The crash occurred Nov. 26, 2014, when Allen was driving to North Platte. Her van crossed the center line on U.S. Highway 83 and rammed into a semitrailer. Her daughter Michelle Heisz was pronounced dead at the scene. Her granddaughter Anjellycka Heisz suffered severe injuries and spent more than a month in a hospital.
