Buescher was driving east on Patterson Road On Aug. 19 at about 10 a.m. when she ran the red light at 281/4 Road and collided with another car being driven by Stanna Lindholm, 27, who was traveling north on 281/4 Road, according to police.

Lindholm was killed in the accident, according to police.

Lindholm was a Mesa State College graduate and a mother of two. She had recently returned to school and was preparing to student teach at Central High School in the spring of 2006, according to a newspaper in her hometown.

Buescher had faced a similar conviction of driving under the influence in 1998.
