Judge sentences woman in crash that killed state lawmaker

ATLANTA, MI (AP)--   A northern Michigan woman has been sentenced to a year of probation and fined $915 as a result of a crash that killed state Rep. Peter Pettalia. 

Montmorency District Judge Benjamin Bolser also sentenced 59-year old Nancy Lunn of Fairview on Friday to pay court costs.

The 61-year-old Presque Isle Republican was riding a motorcycle in September to Lansing for a legislative session when Lunn's pickup truck turned into his lane in front of him. He was wearing a helmet when he hit the truck broadside.

The crash occurred on M-33 in Montmorency County's Loud Township.

Lunn pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of moving violation causing death earlier this month in the crash.
