VERO BEACH, Fla. (AP) - A Miami woman has been convicted in the deaths of 2 motorcyclists she hit along Interstate 95 in Indian River County.

A jury found 26-year-old Dominique Brice guilty Wednesday of vehicular manslaughter. She faces up to 30 years in prison at her Nov. 25 sentencing.

Authorities say Brice was speeding and weaving through traffic in February 2008 when she hit Fritz Doucet and Raul Ortiz. They were recently reunited high school friends going to Bike Week in Daytona Beach.

Brice's brother and two small children were in the car.

Another driver on the interstate, who testified at the trial, had actually called 911 to report an erratic driver just moments before the crash.

Brice says she was just changing lanes with another car forced her out of control.
