Posted 7:21 am / September 6
A woman who was driving with a blood-alcohol level nearly three times the legal limit now faces murder and assault charges in connection with a July crash that killed a 10-year-old girl, according to Lexington police.
Sequoyah Collins, 24, was allegedly driving more than 80 mph with an “extreme level of alcohol intoxication” when she struck a car carrying two adults and four children at about 3 a.m. July 5, on Tates Creek Road and Lansdowne Drive, police said Tuesday.
The speed limit is 45 mph in the area.
Collins was arraigned Wednesday on her new charges in Fayette County District Court. She appeared by video conference from the Fayette County jail, and Judge John Lindsay Tackett entered a not guilty plea on her behalf.
