A St. Louis Woman Faces Charges Following a Deadly Hit-and-Run
A St. Louis woman has been charged in a deadly hit-and-run crash.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that 35-year-old Chernell Dabney was charged last week with second-degree murder, armed criminal action and leaving the scene of a crash that killed 46-year-old Darrell Ransom.
Police said Dabney drove a minivan onto a sidewalk on Dec. 11, hitting a building and the victim.
Court documents said a witness who called 911 saw Dabney climb from the driver side window of the minivan afterward. Police found Dabney walking two blocks from the crash scene; she told officers she had fallen asleep before the crash. Ransom died at the crash scene.
