OGDEN, Utah (AP) — A 26-year-old woman accused of killing another driver in Ogden while her blood alcohol was nearly four times the legal limit has been ordered to prison.

The Salt Lake Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/1egQ2od ) Chelsey Lauran Raffield was sentenced Thursday to one to 15 years behind bars after pleading guilty to automobile homicide.

Ogden police say Raffield was going about 80 mph in a 30 mph zone when she ran through a stop sign and hit another car.

The 22-year-old driver of that car, Elsa Alonso, was killed.

Raffield suffered a broken ankle and other minor wounds.

She had previously been convicted of a DUI in November 2011.
