A 37-year-old woman who crashed her car and killed a woman while high on methamphetamine, or P, has been jailed.
Janine Elizabeth Carter earlier admitted one charge of driving with evidence of a controlled drug causing death, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years' prison or a $20,000 fine.
Carter was jailed for three years and two months by Judge Philip Connell in the Hamilton District Court yesterday.
Maureen Joan Davies, 69, had pulled to a stop for roadworks on State Highway 1, at Karapiro, south of Cambridge on January 30 when Carter's vehicle crashed into the back of her car.
Mrs Davies died in Waikato Hospital two days later.
