WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - A fleeing driver suspected in a Wichita crash that killed two people and injured her passenger and two others is out of the hospital and in jail.
The Wichita Eagle reports that 24-year-old Mia Collins was booked Tuesday night on suspicion of two counts of first-degree murder. Police say she had been in the hospital since leading officers on a chase Sunday in a stolen BMW. After about 1 mile (1.6 kilometers), the car collided with a car and another SUV at an intersection.
The crash killed 70-year-old Maria Wood and 12-year-old Rosemary McElroy and critically injured Wood’s daughter, 36-year-old Jenny Wood, a popular Wichita musician known for performing with children. The driver of the SUV that was hit also was hurt.
Collins was on probation at the time.
