Texas authorities charged 26-year-old Tionne Spears with driving while intoxicated, abuse of a corpse, and possession of a controlled substance after she allegedly drove through a fatal crash scene on State Highway 211 near Lambada Drive in San Antonio on Friday night.
Incident Breakdown
A 61-year-old pedestrian was first clipped by one vehicle’s side mirror, fell, and was fatally run over by a second driver—who faces no charges. As deputies investigated and covered the body, Spears sped into the cordoned area, ran over the corpse, and nearly struck officers before being arrested.
Substance and Aftermath
Spears reportedly showed signs of being high on khat, an African plant linked to heightened bravado and pain tolerance (noted in media like Black Hawk Down). She posted $14,100 bond and has a March 30 court date; thankfully, no deputies were hurt despite the chaos.
