Kenly, NC : Percocet-fueled crash that killed one person on April, tuesday 3rd 2017

A 21-year-old Four Oaks woman pleaded guilty to second-degree murder Tuesday for her role in a high-speed wreck that killed a Middlesex man, the Johnston County District Attorney said.

Amanda Leighann Allen, who was pregnant at the time, had smoked marijuana and snorted Percocet before she crashed head-on into a 25-year-old headed home from work, killing him, prosecutors said.At about 6:30 p.m., Jan. 11, 2016, as she traveled along North Carolina Highway 42 just east of Jerusalem Church Road in Kenly, Allen’s Dodge Challenger ran off the road to the right, police said. She then over-corrected, crossed the center line and ran head-on into a 1981 Chevrolet pickup driven by Louis Brandon Howell, according to authorities. Howell died at the scene.

She had been going 100 mph when the wreck started, and she was still going about 70 mph when the two vehicles hit, according to a police crash report.

One woman in Allen’s car suffered minor injuries, and another suffered possible injuries, according to a police crash report.
