HOLT COUNTY, Mo. (KQTV) -- A Missouri woman pleaded guilty Wednesday to an August 2024 fatal accident in Holt County.

Chelsey Guyer, from Fillmore, Missouri, was charged with two felony counts: a DWI causing the death of another and a DWI causing serious physical injury.

Guyer was sentenced to serve six years in the Missouri Department of Corrections for causing the death of another.

She was also sentenced to five years of supervised probation for causing serious physical injury to a passenger in her vehicle, which will run consecutively to her prison sentence.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol's crash report on Aug. 25, 2024, Guyer was driving on U.S. Highway 59 when she crossed the center line and hit a vehicle driven by Angela Woods.

Court documents explain that Guyer was allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol and acted with criminal negligence by driving on the wrong side of the road, and as a result, killed Woods.
