A Boca Raton man has pleaded guilty to killing a Hialeah woman in a drunken, high-speed crash in 2013.
Mark Schneider, 26, agreed to a plea deal Thursday to avoid trial.
Court records show that Schneider pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide in the Sept. 29, 2013 crash in Palm beach County that killed 52-year-old Carol Velasco.
Schneider was driving west on Palmetto Park Road near Toledo Road in his 2010 Hyundai Genesis when it crashed into the 2010 Hyundai Accent that Velasco was driving, PBCSO authorities said.
Deputies said Schneider was driving between 95 mph and 103 mph when his car slammed into Velasco's car, killing her.
In exchange for his plea, prosecutors dropped a DUI manslaughter count.
Schneider was sentenced to 15 years in prison, but if he surrenders in court on Jan. 8 as agreed upon, his sentence will be trimmed to just four years.
Schneider's license will also be suspended for five years.
