Woman gets more than 2 1/2 years for fatal crash in Tacoma
A woman has pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide in a crash at the assisted living center where she resides in Tacoma.
Fifty-three-year-old Irene Axe was sentenced Wednesday to more than two years and seven months in prison.
Axe pleaded guilty in the death of 46-year-old Carl Johnson in the parking lot of Life Manor Assisted Living, where both of them lived.
Investigators wrote that she was moving a friend's specially equipped van March 9 and went to put her foot on the brake. Instead, she hit the gas and the van jumped a curb and hit Johnson. He died four days later.
