ATLANTA,None — The Georgia Department of Corrections split up a woman sentenced for causing a deadly crash and her mother who was convicted of helping to cover up the hit-and-run.
Officials with the Fulton County Jail told Channel 2's Tom Regan that Aimee Michael and her mother, Sheila Michael, have been transferred into state custody.

Aimee Michael, who was sentenced to 36 years in prison, is now behind bars at Metro State Prison on Constitution Road in southeast Atlanta.
Sheila Michael, who was ordered to serve eight years in prison, is now at Lee Arrendale State Prison north of Gainesville.
Michael was charged with starting a collision that killed five people on Easter Sunday 2009 and then fleeing the scene.
Michael's defense attorneys conceded that she fled the scene of the accident, but said she shouldn't face vehicular homicide charges because she didn't cause the wreck. They said tire tracks show Michael was sideswiped by another car before the accident.
