Waunakee Woman Given 3-Year Prison Sentence For Killing Pedestrian

A Madison woman will serve three years in prison for fatally injuring a pedestrian in January 2017.  Nicole Bruns pleaded no contest last October to a charge of homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle.  Twenty-one-year-old Alexandra Ihm died of a pulmonary embolism three months after the accident.  Bruns’ blood alcohol content level was nearly twice the legal limit when she was arrested after driving away from the accident scene.
