WAYZATA, Minn. (AP) — Prosecutors have charged an unlicensed driver who struck and killed a Wayzata police officer who was trying to remove debris from a highway last week.

Fifty-four-year-old Beth Freeman of Mound was charged with two counts of criminal vehicular homicide. Freeman is due in court Tuesday.

Authorities allege Freeman was under the influence of drugs and using her cellphone moments before the crash that killed Officer William Mathews on Friday. The 47-year-old Mathews had pulled over to the side of eastbound Highway 12 to remove a chunk of metal when he was struck by an SUV.
