LA PLATA, Md. (AP) - A Maryland woman who struck and killed a motorcyclist while driving under the influence of drugs has been sentenced to five years in prison.

Sixty-one-year-old Kelly Yvonn Young was sentenced by a Charles County judge on Thursday after pleading guilty in July to vehicular manslaughter.

Authorities say Young got behind the wheel of a Chevrolet Camaro in October 2015 after taking cocaine and oxycodone.
