NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A woman died and two children were injured in an August crash that occurred at a Nashville intersection. Now, more than four months later, police have charged a 36-year-old woman for her connection to the deadly incident.
According to the Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD), the crash happened at the intersection of Ewing and Gwynnwood Drives on August 23.
Police said a preliminary investigation showed that 36-year-old Shynithia Stone was traveling south on Gwynnwood Drive in a 2017 Infiniti QX60 SUV when she ran a stop sign at the Ewing Drive intersection and collided with a 2018 Chevrolet Camaro.
The driver of the Camaro—identified as 46-year-old Tamika Petway— was taken to Skyline Medical Center where she died, officials said.
Meanwhile, police reported Stone was taken to a local hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries. A previous News 2 report states two passengers in Stone’s vehicle, a seven-year-old and 14-year-old, were also taken to a hospital to be treated for injuries sustained in the crash.
