A Jackson County woman was sentenced to 120 days in jail after investigators say she hit an Amish buggy with a truck and then took off.

The Jackson County District Attorney says as part of a plea deal, three counts were dismissed against Corine Byom. She pleaded no contest to obstructing an officer. Deputies say in November of 2008, Byom was driving a truck on Highway 95 south of Hixton, when she hit the buggy, killing the horse and injuring two people.

According to the criminal complaint, Byom asked her father to help her hide the truck. Investigators say he covered it with a tarp on his property, where deputies later found it.
