SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A 29-year-old woman accused of killing two high school students and critically injuring a third while driving under the influence of drugs has faces an additional charge of reckless endangerment.
The Statesman Journal says Sophia Downing, of Salem, appeared in court on Friday, crying nearly throughout the entire proceeding.
Her stepfather, William Hancock, says Downing is bipolar and switched medication the day before the crash.
Downing is charged with two counts of manslaughter and charges of second-degree assault and driving under the influence after the Sept. 23 crash.
