SPRINGFIELD, MO : A woman is accused in southwestern Missouri of drunkenly causing a fatal car crash on April, Thursday 27th 2017

A woman is accused in southwestern Missouri of drunkenly causing a fatal car crash.

KOLR-TV (http://bit.ly/2qcGB3U ) reports that Greene County prosecutors have charged Melissa Mahan with first-degree involuntary manslaughter.

Authorities allege Mahan’s blood-alcohol level was .295 percent — more than three times the state’s legal threshold of intoxication — on Dec. 5 when her vehicle sideswiped a vehicle driven by Leslee Owrey of Fair Play.

Owrey’s vehicle then left the road and overturned, ejecting Owrey. She died at a hospital.

Online court records don’t show whether Mahan has an attorney.
