Megan Symone Scott, 31, of North Carolina, has been charged with three counts of involuntary manslaughter and multiple other offenses after she allegedly fled a traffic stop, reached speeds of 111 mph, and crashed, killing her three young sons.
The crash occurred on June 3 in Fayetteville, according to court documents. Investigators say Scott sped away from officers who attempted to stop her in connection with an earlier domestic disturbance.
Details of the Crash
Data recovered from Scott's Kia Forte showed the vehicle reached 111 mph before crossing the center line, overcorrecting, and crashing into a tree along Highway 53. Authorities said Scott and two of her sons were ejected from the vehicle. Two children died at the scene, while a third later died at a hospital.
Court documents allege Scott was driving with a revoked license and that none of the children were properly restrained. Investigators also accuse Scott of assaulting her boyfriend earlier that day by biting him and attempting to run him over after he got out of the vehicle.
Charges and Arrest
Police said two officers were struck as Scott fled the attempted traffic stop. Scott was arrested on June 15 and remains jailed after a judge denied bond. In addition to involuntary manslaughter, she faces charges including assault on law enforcement officers, assault with a deadly weapon, hit-and-run, reckless driving, speeding, and multiple child restraint violations.
