Car crash woman guilty of probation violation

A Vermont woman involved in a car crash that caused a pregnant woman to lose her twin fetuses has pleaded not guilty to a parole violation charge. Police say 22-year-old Kelly Cook crossed the center line on a Bennington road and hit a minivan driven by Patricia Blair, who was pregnant. She was on probation at the time, after pleading guilty in 2007 to taking $80 from a register and tip jar from a beauty salon.
Police said after the accident, Cook admitted to taking a tranquilizer that she didn't have a prescription for. Part of her probation conditions were that she not take medication not prescribed by a doctor.
