A Lloydminster woman charged following a high-speed collision on 49th Avenue near the Legion has been sentenced and had her matter concluded in court.
Court records show Laquita Angus was sentenced on Feb. 19, the first day after charges were laid. She received a conditional sentence.
Angus was charged after RCMP responded around 5 p.m. Feb. 11 to reports of a vehicle travelling at what witnesses described as an extremely high rate of speed.
An eyewitness previously told The Border Pulse they estimated the vehicle was travelling around 130 kilometers per hour before attempting to pass traffic near the post office.
The vehicle narrowly avoided two other vehicles before colliding with a FedEx truck and spinning out. Witnesses reported individuals fleeing the scene on foot before later being apprehended by police.
Angus had faced charges of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, failing to stop at the scene of an accident and failing to stop for police.
A conditional sentence means a jail term is served in the community under strict court-ordered conditions. If those conditions are breached, the offender can be required to serve the remainder of the sentence in custody.
Court records do not outline the specific length or conditions of the sentence.
The Border Pulse will continue to follow local court proceedings.
