BOZEMAN - A 19-year-old MSU student has pleaded guilty to several charges stemming from a crash that killed a fellow student.

Sloane Realbird of Crow Agency appeared in court Wednesday and pleaded guilty to felony vehicular homicide while under the influence and three counts of negligent vehicular assault. She was accused of smoking marijuana and drinking before the Dec. 7 crash in Bozeman that killed 26-year-old Nyree Hogan and injured three others.

Investigators say Realbird was driving too fast into a 90-degree curve on Cottonwood Road, and the car crashed into a field.
