A woman involved in an October 2017 crash that claimed the life of her 3-year-old daughter was indicted Monday by Greene County Grand Jury on a charge of vehicular homicide.

Summer Dawn Ingle, 29, of Hartman Lane, is scheduled to appear March 29 in Greene County Criminal Court.

Autumn Dawn Ingle died of injuries suffered in the crash in the 300 block of Warrensburg Road on Oct. 17, 2017.

Summer Ingle was charged in April 2018 by the Tennessee Highway Patrol with vehicular homicide and driving under the influence.

Toxicology test results from a blood sample taken the day of the crash show that Ingle had amphetamines, methamphetamine and Alprazolam in her system, according to a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation lab report.

The indictment states that Summer Ingle allegedly committed vehicular homicide "by recklessly killing Autumn Ingle by the operation of an automobile and the killing was the proximate result of the driver's (intoxication)."

Summer Ingle is free on bond pending the March 29 court appearance. She is represented by a public defender.
