WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A 26-year-old woman pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder after two people died in Wichita when she crashed a stolen vehicle into their car while fleeing from police. Mia Collins also pleaded guilty Wednesday to three counts of aggravated battery and one count of attempting to elude an officer. The crash in May 2019 killed 70-year-old Maria Wood and her 12-year-old granddaughter, Rosemary McElroy. Wood’s daughter, Jenny Wood, a well-known Wichita musician, and a 65-year-old man in another vehicle were injured. Collins’ sentencing date has not been scheduled.
