BREAKING NEWS - Driver arraigned on charges after church van accident

The driver of a Chevrolet pickup truck that, according to law enforcement, is responsible for an accident involving a church van on Sunday, has been charged and arraigned in court.

Tammie Young was arraigned in Madison County General Sessions Court on Monday after being charged with driving under the influence, violation of implied consent, two counts of vehicular assault, six counts of assault and failure to drive with due care.

Thirteen individuals were on the church van, headed to Ebenezer Baptist Church in Toone, when law enforcement said Young was driving on the wrong side of the road and caused the accident. The church van rolled over, hit a pole and came to rest in a ditch on the other side of Highway 18 in Medon.

Young posted a $30,000 bail and is scheduled for her net appearance in Madison County General Sessions Court on January 20 at 1 p.m.
