AUGUSTA, Maine — A Winthrop woman is going to prison for more than two years in connection with a head-on collision that killed a Mount Vernon woman last year, according to the Kennebec County District Attorney.
Alyssa Marcellino, 24, was sentenced to six years behind bars with all but 32 months suspended on Wednesday, Maeghan Maloney said Thursday afternoon.
Marcellino was indicted on charges of operating after suspension causing the death of a person and operating after suspension causing serious injury in May 2014.
On March 6, 2014, Marcellino was traveling east on Route 202 when the SUV she was driving crossed the center line and struck a Hyundai driven by Gene Potter, 70, of Mount Vernon.
The crash claimed the life of Potter’s passenger, Joan Fortier, 67, of Mount Vernon.
Marcellino has never had a driver’s license.
