Dallesport Woman Sentenced For Fatal Accident

A Dallesport woman who crashed her SUV after falling asleep while drunk driving, killing one of her children, has been sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to criminally negligent homicide and other charges.  Mattie Spino was driving home from a visit to Mount Hood last November when she fell asleep. All five of her children were in the SUV, and the crash killed her 9-year-old daughter.  The Oregonian reported that Spino’s blood alcohol level was .15 percent.  At Friday’s court appearance in Portland, public defender Kasia Rutledge said her 32-year-old client has had a lot of trauma in life. Rutledge noted that one of Spino’s sons died after her arrest. The boy was crushed by a boulder while hiking in Washington.
