A LaFayette woman previously charged with DUI following a January 2025 crash that killed a Summerville man is now facing a first-degree homicide by vehicle charge.

The Georgia State Patrol’s Specialized Collision Reconstruction Team is continuing to investigate the August 25 crash on Highway 114 in Lyerly that claimed the life of a local man.

Summerville Police say reports that a recent crash was a hit-and-run were inaccurate, and that the incident was a single-vehicle accident.

Two people were killed in a head-on collision on New Year’s Day in Cherokee County, Alabama.
