A woman who admitted to drinking alcohol and doing drugs shortly before causing a fatal motorcycle accident last year has been ordered to serve two consecutive, eight-year prison sentences for the victims who were killed. The Durango Herald reported that Stacie Pierce-Green told police at the scene of the crash that she had just consumed four Bud Light beers and smoked marijuana with a friend at a house in Durango. Since the accident on May 22, 2012, the 41-year-old has been held in La Plata County Jail awaiting a hearing for two counts of vehicular homicide.

The victims of the motorcycle accident were Frank Steward and his wife, Jessica. They were traveling on US Highway 160 near Hesperus when Pierce-Green’s vehicle drifted into their lane, sideswiping the motorcycle both were riding. The couple, 66 and 65 years old, respectively, died instantly from the force of the motorcycle accident.

At the hearing held earlier this April, two of Steward’s sons spoke about the love and joy their parents brought to their family, and how much they are missed.
