BURLEY, Idaho (AP) -- A southeastern Idaho woman has been convicted of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter for the August crash that killed her 4-year-old daughter.

The Times-News reports a Cassia County jury returned the verdict against Raquel Sanchez-Gutierrez of Malta on Thursday.

Ruby Sanchez died after being ejected when her mother's pickup went off Idaho Highway 81 near Malta.

Sanchez-Gutierrez initially told investigators she may have fallen asleep, but later recanted her statement.

Sentencing is set for March 6.
