Brian EagleThe driver in a Feb. 24 crash that left his passenger dead has been indicted on multiple charges, including vehicular homicide and DUI.
Brian Eagle, 24, was driving a Ford Crown Victoria that February morning at around 1:45 a.m., police said.
He was traveling south in the 2200 block of Broad Street when the vehicle left the road and struck a column holding a bridge, according to police. His passenger, 21-year-old Lexus Chambers, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Eagle was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries.
A woman who said she was at the scene of the crash replied to one of Eagle's Facebook posts two days after the crash.
"I was the person trying to help her while you were laying on the ground screaming to help her first," the woman wrote. "I am one of the random strangers that has had to wake up for days seeing the face of a young girl that I don't even f - - know."
The woman said she, her husband and three other women were at the scene trying to help Chambers.
"I'm tore up upset for my kids my precious angel you don't no [sic] nothing," Eagle responded.
Now, three-and-a-half months later, he's been booked into the Hamilton County Jail and, apart from the vehicular homicide and DUI charges, faces a charge of failure to maintain lane.
His bond has been set at $100,000, according to online jail records.
Eagle has an arrest history in Hamilton County dating back to 2014, according to online court records. Most of his charges are for traffic violations, though in April he was arrested for disorderly conduct after being kicked out of Coyote Jack's nightclub. The general manager told police he was removed from the club for "touching women inappropriately."
As for Chambers' family, her children "are missing their mom terribly and do not understand why she is not coming back," her obituary reads.
Chambers was described as a "young, beautiful woman looking to find her way in this life."
"She was a real trooper, more so than most of us," her obituary states. " The sorrow that her family and friends feel is overwhelming but her memory will always be with us. She will always be with us."
