POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. — A Kent man has pleaded guilty in the hit-and-run death of a mother of two who was struck while walking on an eastern New York road.

The Poughkeepsie Journal reports 57-year-old Randy Miles pleaded guilty Wednesday in Dutchess County Court to leaving the scene of a fatal accident.

Prosecutors say Miles’ pickup truck hit 36-year-old Concetta Eastman of Copake in neighboring Columbia County on March 19 as she walked on a road in Amenia, on the Connecticut border 85 miles northeast of New York City.

Officials say Eastman had attended a home merchandise party and was getting into her vehicle to head home.

Miles turned himself in to police five days after the accident. He will be sentenced Dec. 3 to two to six years in prison.
