Car Crash in Holmes County Kills Alabama Woman

An Alabama woman is dead after the vehicle she was riding in flips several times and collides with a power pole in Holmes County. According to Florida officials, the Alabama Highway Patrol was attempting to stop 27-year-old Crystal Williams as she traveled south on County Road 33 and then began an active pursuit. The Florida Highway Patrol says Williams continued heading south across state lines at a high rate of speed. Both she and her passenger, 23-year-old Amber Kendrick were transported to Wiregrass Hospital in Alabama where Kendrick was pronounced dead. She was arrested by AHP officers and is facing multiple charges, including fleeing and eluding.

Williams' vehicle then entered the east shoulder and began to rotate, continuing until it rotated off the roadway, rolling several times before colliding with a power pole with its roof. Williams, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the vehicle. Alabama Highway Patrol learned of a crash on County Road 179A and came to investigate, finding the vehicle involved to be the same that led troopers on the earlier chase. Both Williams and her passenger, Amber L. Kendrick, 23, of Geneva, were transported to Wiregrass Hospital in Alabama, where Kendrick was pronounced dead by hospital staff. Kendrick was wearing her seatbelt.  Williams was treated and released and taken into custody by Alabama Highway Patrol for fleeing and eluding, as well as other charges not yet specified.
