BALDWIN COUNTY, Ga. — The driver in a Baldwin County accident that killed three people was indicted by a grand jury Tuesday on six counts of vehicular homicide.
According to an indictment from Baldwin Superior Court, Lisa Marie Williams was high on cocaine at the time of the fatal crash in April.
She’s formally charged with the deaths of Jesse Bryant, Lizzie Reed, and Mahlon Ruff. She’s also accused of seriously injuring another passenger, Wanda Perry, and of driving under the influence of cocaine.

The accident happened on State Route 24/US Highway 441 in Baldwin County, near Lake Sinclair and the Putnam County line, on April 2.
According to Georgia State Patrol, Lisa Marie Williams was driving a 2003 White Chevy Trailblazer when she lost control of the vehicle and drove off the road.
