A Prince William County woman received a 12-month suspended sentence for her part a crash that killed a police officer.
Margaret Luecke was indicted for reckless driving back in February.
On Monday, a judge agreed with the prosecution's recommendation in handing down the sentence, which will mean Luecke is not expected to serve jail time. She was also ordered to pay a $2,500 fine and perform 200 hours of community service.
Luecke's driver's license will be suspended for six months.
The defense also agreed with the ruling.
Prosecutors say on New Year's Eve, Luecke crossed into the path of Prince William County Police Officer Chris Yung as she tried to turn left into a shopping center in Bristow.
Yung, who was on his motorcycle, was heading to the scene of another accident. His lights and sirens were activated at the time of the acident.
Their vehicles caught fire when they collided.
Luecke said she hadn't seen Yung until it was too late, reported News4 Northern Virginia Bureau reporter David Culver.
A seven-year veteran of the department, Yung, 35, left behind a wife and three children. He had previously served in the United States Marine Corps.
His parents, brothers and widows are in the courtroom Monday morning, Culver reported.
