WICHITA, Kan. — A Kansas woman who pleaded guilty to being drunk when she caused a crash that killed her 5-year-old daughter has been sentenced to three years’ probation.
Television station KSNW reports that Nory Lam was sentenced last week after pleading guilty in January to involuntary manslaughter while driving under the influence. Police investigators say Lam was behind the wheel of her sport utility vehicle around 3 a.m. on March 7, 2021, when she went off the road and crashed. Arriving deputies found her holding 5-year-old daughter Aleah Reyes in her lap in the backseat.
The girl died at the scene. Investigators say Lam told a deputy she had consumed several shots of tequila at a party before the crash.
