A Former DeKalb County police officer was indicted Tuesday on charges of vehicular homicide, reckless driving and violation of oath of office in a crash that killed two women on Feb. 19.
According to prosecutors, Kristina Hambie, 25, was driving at twice the speed limit when her police cruiser slammed into an Altima as it pulled into the intersection of Kensington Road and Covington Highway in the Avondale Estates area.
"We believe the evidence will be that she was not on an emergency call," said DeKalb District Attorney Robert James.
Shelley Amos, 56, died at the scene and Cheryl Blount Burton, 51, was pronounced dead at the DeKalb Medical Center.
Hambie was injured.
