Karen Honeycutt entered the plea Monday to charges that include second-degree murder and gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. She faces 22 years to life in prison if convicted.

Prosecutors say the 41-year-old Temecula woman was drunk and doing up to 100 mph when her Jeep Grand Cherokee smashed into a light pole in Temecula last month.

Her daughter, Chloe, wasn't wearing a seat belt and was hurled from the car. Honeycutt and her two sons also were injured.

Honeycutt has four previous DUI convictions in San Diego County.

Defense attorney Leah Kisner told the Riverside Press-Enterprise that the case was not cut and dry but declined further comment.
