Officer Dustin Krish, 32, was directing traffic for a utility company in a construction zone on Highway 27 in Carrollton, when a vehicle driven by Callahan hit him after Callahan reportedly suffered a seizure.

After a nearly year-long battle with severe injuries from the crash, Officer Krish passed away on June 9, 2026.

According to the indictment, filed Nov. 9 in Carroll County Superior Court, Callahan had experienced seizures while operating a motor vehicle at least twice before the deadly crash.

Prosecutors allege in the indictment Callahan knew she was prone to seizures but continued driving, showing reckless disregard for the safety of others.

The indictment also outlines a separate basis for the vehicular homicide charges, alleging Callahan was talking on the phone, driving too fast for conditions, and failing to maintain her lane when the crash happened.

The grand jury returned eight charges against Callahan:

• 2 counts of first-degree homicide by vehicle,
• 2 counts of serious injury by vehicle,
• 2 counts of reckless driving,
• 1 count of failure to maintain lane,
• 1 count of driving too fast for conditions.

Both vehicular homicide counts involve Krish’s death but cite different allegations of reckless driving. One focuses on Callahan’s alleged knowledge of her previous seizures while driving.

The other centers on allegations that she was using the phone, traveling too fast for conditions and failing to maintain her lane.
