LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Authorities have arrested a woman who is accused of causing a fatal crash that happened in Bullitt County back in June.
It happened at the intersection of Old Preston Highway and Preston Highway on Wednesday, June 5.

She's been charged with murder, operating a car under the influence of a controlled substance, and disregarding a traffic light.
She's expected to appear in court on Monday at 9 a.m.
