NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) — A Stapleton woman convicted for a crash that killed her daughter and injured her granddaughter has been sentenced to house arrest and probation.
Online court records say 60-year-old Vicky Allen was sentenced Monday to 60 days of house arrest and five years of probation. In December she pleaded no contest and was convicted of manslaughter and driving under the influence. Prosecutors had lowered the charges in exchange for Allen’s pleas.
The crash occurred Nov. 26, 2014, when Allen was driving to North Platte. Authorities say 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 3-year-old granddaughter, Anjellycka Heisz, suffered severe injuries and spent more than a month in a hospital.
