A Van Nuys woman who swerved her SUV into the path of a van for developmentally disabled adults almost a year ago pleaded guilty Thursday to vehicular manslaughter.
Bonnie Yvonne Lee, 29, faces four years in state prison as part of a plea agreement, said the county district attorney’s office.
On May 23, 2002, Lee’s SUV lurched in front of a van owned by the Tierra del Sol Foundation. Employee Tauheedah Brown, 25, and client Robert Hawthorne, 38, were killed.
