Keavy woman indicted for manslaughter in connection with fatal wreck

A Keavy woman has been indicted for manslaughter in connection with a fatal crash during which police say she was driving under the influence of intoxicants and with a suspended driver’s license.

Kayla Danielle Brock, 29, was indicted Friday on charges of second-degree manslaughter, operating a motor vehicle under the influence of intoxicants, driving a motor vehicle while license is revoked or suspended and failure to wear a seat belt.

The charges stem from a crash that occurred on Feb. 4 on Keavy Road.

The passenger, Daniel S. Witt, 25, of Keavy, was taken to Baptist Health Corbin where he was later pronounced deceased.
