The deadly crash unfolded after the two Troopers were dispatched to assist a man walking on the southboundhighway near 12:45 a.m. Monday. As Mack and Sisca were trying to detain the man, Webb attempted to pass the parked state police SUV while driving high speed, fatally striking all three men.

Webb allegedly wept while burying her face in her sweatshirt as she was arraigned on 18 felony counts; including two counts of the manslaughter of a law enforcement officer. During the arraignment Tuesday; Jayana Webb admitted at the crash site to drinking earlier that night, according to CBS 3.
The 21 year old is currently in custody, awaiting a preliminary hearing on April 5th. Her attorney is now asking the public to give the woman grace.
“We are never the worst thing we have done in our life. If in fact she is found guilty of this, she is more than that and right now she is an innocent person,” Attorney Michael Walker said, according to CBS 3.
“She’s extremely saddened,” he added. “She’s not a violent criminal. She has no past, no prior contacts with police whatsoever. She’s a great person and it would devastate most people and right now she’s devastated.”
