NEW ALBANY, IN : Driver pleads guilty in deadly Floyd County crash that killed 3 people, unborn child on Wednesday, 3rd March 2021

The driver charged in a fatal wrong-way crash in Floyd County has pleaded guilty to multiple counts.

Police say Taylor Barefoot, 31, was behind the wheel when she crashed head-on into another vehicle on I-265. The March 7, 2020 crash killed 22-year-old Leah Onstott, 21-year-old Taylor Cole, Cole’s son Braxton and her unborn child.

In April, charges were filed in Floyd County against Barefoot; prosecutors allege she was drunk behind the wheel.

Toxicology reports found Barefoot’s blood alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit of .08.

A lawsuit filed by Cole’s family against Barefoot and her employer Sazerac claim was drinking at a work party prior to the crash.

Barefoot was initially charged with three counts of driving drunk, three counts of causing death while driving drunk and one count of involuntary manslaughter. In April 2020, Barefoot pleaded not guilty.
