Carla Smith was killed in a September accident when she was driving along and was crashed into by a Chevrolet Impala that ran a stop sign. When police arrived at the scene, they found that the suspect, Waldron Brown, had a blood-alcohol content of .14 at the time of the crash, which is almost twice the legal limit in Florida. Investigators found that he was going at least 71 MPH in a 25 MPH zone at the time.
Smith had two other passengers in her vehicle at the time, a 45-year-old Shawn Brown and her 2-year-old granddaughter, Geniya Smith. They were both treated for their injuries. Since then, Waldron Brown has been charged with vehicular homicide, driving under the influence manslaughter charges, DUI with serious bodily injury, and DUI with property damage. He has been given $530,000 bail.
