MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — A Hennepin County jury has found Amy Senser guilty of two of three felony counts of criminal vehicular homicide in her hit-and-run trial.

Jurors found her guilty of leaving the scene of the accident, and of failure to notify authorities in a timely manner. They found her not guilty of gross negligence, but guilty of a lesser charge of careless driving.

The jury delivered the verdict Thursday afternoon, after deliberating over the past three days.

Senser, wife of former Minnesota Viking player Joe Senser, admitted to driving the car that hit Anousane Phanthavong, 38, in August 2011, but she said she didn't know at the time she had hit a person.
