NASSAU, Bahamas – A 59-year-old woman was yesterday (May 3) ordered to pay a $5,000 fine or face two years in prison for killing a man after crashing into his vehicle, moments after she allegedly attempted to flee the scene of an earlier crash two months ago, according to an article written by Nico Scavella in The Tribune on May 4.

Deputy Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain further ordered that Angela Colebrooke of South Beach Drive also receive grief counselling for causing Chet Smith’s death on East Street and Malcolm Road on February 26.

Before being sentenced, Colebrooke had pleaded guilty to the one count of killing in the course of dangerous driving with which she was charged.
