Michigan woman who told police she was a passenger in double fatal crash now charged as driver
“I am glad that with these charges, the families can begin to find closure," Biniecki said, "and for people to realize there are consequences for their actions."
Sanilac County Sheriff's deputies arrested Laken Williams, 21, of Lexington on January 26 for the October 28, 2014, high-speed rollover crash on Roach Road west of Croswell Road in Lexington Township that killed 18-year-old Dakota Moore and 17-year-old Danielle Torrez. Williams was arraigned on two 15-year felony counts of reckless driving causing death; one count of false report of a felony and one high court misdemeanor count of lying to a peace officer. Williams originally claimed to be a passenger was the only survivor. The two teens were ejected from the vehicle and died.
What every family needs to know about wrongful death claims
When a person dies as the result of a car, truck, bicycle, pedestrian, or other kind of accident, family members must deal with the tragedy as best they can. Many decisions need to be made, and a wrongful death claim needs to be filed.
In Michigan, a claim can be filed by certain family members, but there are strict requirements and deadlines that must be met. It is crucial to speak with a Michigan wrongful death lawyer to get necessary information and advice.
