4-year term for McHenry Co. woman in fatal hit-run

KENOSHA, Wis. -- An Illinois woman received a four-year prison term on charges in a Kenosha County hit-and-run accident that left one bicyclist dead and another injured.

Forty-one-year-old Barbara Lee from Spring Grove leaded guilty last month to a charge of hit-and-run involving a death. Three other charges were dismissed but read into the record at her sentencing Wednesday in Circuit Court.

Authorities said her vehicle hit and killed 44-year-old Gordon Kleifield of Chicago as he was bicycling in Wilmot Aug. 16. A McHenry man biking with him had minor injuries.

Lee also was ordered to serve 10 years extended supervision after the prison term.
