A Georgia teen who pleaded guilty Monday to multiple charges in connection with a car crash that killed her best friend last year had been driving 106 mph and using Snapchat before the crash, prosecutors said.

Christina Pavon-Baker, was driving with her 18-year-old friend, Makayla Penn, in Clayton County when she crashed the car, prosecutors said. The car flipped several times before slamming into a tree, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Pavon-Baker was severely injured in the crash, but Penn did not survive. Pavon-Baker was only 17 at the time. Channel 2 Action News reported that Pavon-Baker and Penn were skipping school.

“I just want to apologize and I do accept full responsibility,” Pavon-Baker said after pleading guilty. “And I really want to express from the bottom of my heart how truly sorry I am.”
