Lexington woman whose vehicle fatally struck pedestrian gets probation

ne-supreme-court-gavelLEXINGTON, Neb. (AP) — A Lexington woman whose vehicle fatally struck a woman pushing a baby stroller has been given two years of probation.

On Monday 26-year-old Krystal Saunders also was told to complete 200 hours of community service. She’d pleaded no contest to misdemeanor vehicular homicide after taking a plea deal in July.

The Nebraska State Patrol says Saunders’ vehicle struck 32-year-old Alejandra Zamora and a stroller holding her 2-month-old niece while Zamora was walking with the niece’s mother on Aug. 31 last year in northeast Lexington. Zamora died later at a hospital. The infant suffered a severe head injury.
