A 22 year old woman has pleaded guilty over the hit-and-run death of a 65-year-old man on a rural road in Auckland's Albany last December

Helena Cribb hit the man after drinking alcohol throughout the afternoon and evening, at her work Christmas party.

The car dragged the man almost 32 metres.

Cribb - who is the daughter of All Black Ron Cribb - will be sentenced in December.

She faces a maximum penalty of three years prison, 12-months driving disqualification and a 10 thousand dollar fine.
