A Morgan County woman has been charged with murder after a fatal traffic crash last month.
Brittany D. Williams, 23, of West Liberty was driving a 1998 Chevrolet Lumina south on Ky. 7 about 9 p.m. on May 31, when her car crossed the center line and struck a 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier.
The driver of the Cavalier, Gerry N. Blackwell, 76, of West Liberty, died, and her passenger, Terry Blackwell, 59, was taken to University of Kentucky Hospital with injuries. Williams also was injured and treated at UK Hospital.
Kentucky State Police Det. Toby Gardner said in court documents that Williams was driving under the influence of drugs, which led to the murder charge.
Williams was arrested Sunday, state police said, and she was being held Monday at the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center.
