LE CENTER, Minn. — A woman accused of texting while driving and fatally striking an elderly man along a road in Le Sueur County has pleaded guilty to charges.

Susan Ann Russo, 48, reached an agreement with prosecutors, who will recommend four days in jail and two years of probation. Russo pleaded guilty Tuesday to reckless driving and misusing a wireless device.

Joseph Tikalsky, 79, was struck and killed last October as he retrieved his newspaper from the side of the road. Tikalsky was wearing a reflective vest and was on break from his school bus route.

Sentencing for the New Prague woman is scheduled Oct. 17.
