HONESDALE, Pa. — A woman has been sentenced to prison for a crash in Wayne County that killed one person and seriously injured two others.

Arminda Johnson, 48, of Starlight, was sentenced to eight to 16 years for a DUI crash in October of 2020 on Route 370 in Buckingham Township.

The head-on crash killed Paul Hopkins, 77, of Equinunk, and badly injured two other passengers.

Johnson pleaded guilty earlier this year.
