VICKSBURG, Miss. (AP) - The driver of a car involved in a wreck that resulted in the death of a Vicksburg woman has been charged in her death.
Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace tells the Vicksburg Post (https://bit.ly/2nvcJdS) that 20-year-old Curtis Lee Valentine is charged with aggravated DUI resulting in a death in the wreck that killed 20-year-old Katherine “Katie” Martin on Nov. 22, 2016.
According to sheriff’s office reports, Valentine was speeding when he went into a curve and lost control of the car, which overturned. Previous news reports indicate Martin was a passenger.
Pace says a warrant for Valentine’s arrest was issued after toxicology tests showed he had been under the influence of a controlled substance at the time of the wreck. He says Valentine, accompanied by his attorney, turned himself in.
