A 26-year-old Taylor woman has been sentenced to six to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree murder in a high-speed crash that killed a Dearborn mother and physician last summer.

Felecia Lazo was driving 117 mph in a 35 mph zone when she ran a red light at Michigan Avenue and Nowlin Street in Dearborn, crashing into a car driven by 33-year-old Ghada Mustapha. First responders pronounced Mustapha dead at the scene.

During the sentencing, Lazo offered a tearful apology to the victim's family.

"You may not be ready to hear from me or accept my apology. Still, I want to say from the deepest place in my heart, I'm so sorry for your loss," Lazo said.

As part of a plea deal, a second count of reckless driving causing death was dismissed.
