Lexington Woman Charged in Fatal Crash After Judge Sees Facebook Posts


Posted on May 29, 2010

A 21-year-old Lexington woman has been indicted in Fayette County on a second-degree manslaughter charge and other charges related to a fatal accident in May 2009, according to the Kentucky news source.  Meredith Lewis Browning reportedly lost control of her vehicle while driving under the influence last year, when she was under the legal drinking age, causing her car to strike a telephone pole and two trees before catching fire.  Tragically, one of her passengers was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene.  The second passenger suffered serious physical injuries in the tragic Lexington accident.  Although Browning's blood-alcohol level was 0.02 (0.08 is the level for a DUI conviction for drivers 21 and over), she has been charged with underage DUI, which only requires a blood-alcohol level of 0.02 for conviction.  According to the article, Browning's Facebook account served as evidence in this case, with the judge reading her posts about drinking before the accident (under a search warrant).
