An Appleton woman has been sentenced in a fatal traffic crash case from 2021.
20-year-old Irma Garcia was found guilty due to a no-contest plea on a charge of 1st Degree Reckless Homicide and will spend 10 years in prison.
Garcia was driving over 100 miles per hour when she struck a vehicle at the intersection of East Calumet and Oneida Streets in Appleton on September 17th, 2021.
50-years-old Silia Hurula died as a result. While being interviewed by police, Garcia admitted to taking mushrooms prior to getting behind the wheel.
Prior to being sentenced, Garcia apologized to Hurula’s family, saying, “I will never dismiss your pain and suffering, nor will I ever deny responsibility for all I have unintentionally brought upon you.”
