GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — A Grand Forks woman has pleaded guilty to drunken driving and aggravated assault in a crash that cost a man half a leg.

Fifty-two-year-old Karen Vatnsdal is to be sentenced May 2. If a judge agrees to her plea agreement with prosecutors, she will spend three years in prison and five years on probation.

Authorities say Vatnsdal's car pinned 37-year-old Michael Hart against his pickup truck last Oct. 17. Hart later had one leg amputated below the knee.
