The driver accused of causing a crash that killed a mother of three in Trotwood last fall is now facing charges.
A Montgomery County grand jury indicted Christopher Matheney, 46, on Friday on one count of aggravated vehicular homicide and two misdemeanor counts of OVI, according to Montgomery County Common Pleas Court records.
The charges stem from a crash on State Route 49 and Free Pike on September 7, 2024.
As previously reported, Lakeisha Brown, 33, was driving westbound on Free Pike, crossing State Route 49, when she was hit by Matheney, who investigators say ran a red light at the intersection.
Brown, a mother with three children, was killed in the crash.
Brown’s family previously told News Center 7 that she was “the life of the party” and that there was never a dull moment around her.
According to the Trotwood Police crash report, Matheney had a blood alcohol level of.0235. That is almost three times Ohio’s legal limit of 0.08.
Matheney is scheduled to appear in court on February 27.
