SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - A Ute Indian Tribe woman is facing as much as eight years in prison after taking a plea deal in the death of a street sweeper.

An Aug. 4 sentencing has been set for 50-year-old Wilda Annie Manning. She pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter.

She acknowledged that she used a cell phone right before the crash that killed 25-year-old Steven Goodrich.



The plea deal dropped a second count of involuntary manslaughter related to a controlled substance found in her body.
