PLATTSMOUTH, Neb. (AP) — A 30-year-old woman convicted in a fatal hit-and-run collision in eastern Nebraska has been sentenced to eight to 10 years in prison.

Mandy MacDonald was sentenced Tuesday. MacDonald pleaded no contest in November to motor vehicle homicide and a felony count of leaving the scene of an injury accident. She will receive credit for 255 days served in jail.

Authorities say MacDonald lost control of her car on May 31 near the Interstate 80 Greenwood exit and collided with another westbound vehicle. That vehicle went into a roadside ditch and rolled, ejecting its driver, 50-year-old Kristin Olson of Grand Island.

Authorities say MacDonald fled the scene, but was stopped by a state trooper a few miles west of the collision.
