A Louisville woman who drove the wrong way on Interstate 64 before crashing into a family of four head-on in June of 2021 was sentenced on Thursday.
Faith Turner accepted a plea deal, pleading guilty to several charges, including two counts of manslaughter.
Turner told officers she was drinking mixed drinks at a wedding reception before getting behind the wheel, according to her arrest slip. Her preliminary breath test result was .19 and she smelled of alcohol, according to the police report.
Turner was sentenced to 32 years in prison. She will be eligible for parole after serving 85 percent of 12 years for the manslaughter charges. She will be eligible at 20 percent of 20 years for the other charges.
Both the defense and prosecution said they worked together on the plea deal, making sure the victims’ families agreed as well.
Allen and Rachelle Hinkle were killed in the crash. Their two children were also injured.
