The woman responsible for killing a mother and her daughter in an alcohol-induced car crash has been sentenced to six years in prison.

The verdict came on Friday at Saskatoon provincial court. Back in October, 53-year-old Laura Hannah and 20-year-old Jamie Hannah, both from Alberta, were traveling to a funeral in Moose Jaw when they were struck and killed in a head-on collision on Highway 11, not far from Dundurn.

Investigation determined that Brittney Barry from the RM of Blucher was driving on the wrong side of the highway when the crash occurred. Officers reported that she blew more than twice the legal limit of alcohol. She also had her two children with her in the vehicle, who sustained serious injuries.
