Florida woman gets 15 years for fatal DUI crash
OCALA, Fla. (AP) - A Florida woman has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for fatally striking a pedestrian with her car while she was high on drugs.
The Ocala Star-Banner reports that 28-year-old Brittney Titus was sentenced Tuesday. She was convicted last week of DUI manslaughter and leaving the scene of a crash.
