A mother is scheduled for sentencing after she admitted drunkenly driving a station wagon full of children into a New York City highway wreck that killed one of them.

Carmen Huertas pleaded guilty to manslaughter in August in a case that spurred a state law.

A judge has promised her less than the maximum range of five to 15 years, but more than the minimum range of one to three years. The sentencing is Friday in a Manhattan court.

The crash last October on the Henry Hudson Parkway killed 11-year-old Leandra Rosado and injured the other children. It prompted what is known as Leandras Law. It makes drunken driving a felony if a child is in the car.
