Thanks. Tonight we're learning more about the woman now indicted
in the death of a Carrollton police officer, Dustin Krish.
Authorities say she hit Krish
while he directed traffic more than a year ago.
After the officer's death this summer, the Carroll County District
Attorney's Office called it an open pending criminal investigation.
And in an interview you'll see first here on Fox 5,
we have more insight into the driving
and the medical history of the woman now charged with the death.
Fox 5's Kevin Stewart, live at the Carroll County Jail
in Carrollton with the story. Kevin?
Yeah, guys, we're talking about Hannah Callahan.
She is locked up here at the Carroll County Jail
after being indicted on eight counts earlier this month.
I can tell you I had a chance to
talk to a young man who had an encounter with her.
He saved her life. Some other folks risked
his own life after an encounter just one month before
the Krish incident.
Hannah Olivia Callahan has a history.
Remember, investigators say she had a medical emergency
during this accident on Highway 27 near downtown Carrollton
in June of last year.
This 12-page indictment provides clues why the charges come now,
five months after Carrollton
police officer Dustin Christian's death
and more than a year after the accident.
Count three. Serious injury by vehicle details how
the collision led to brain damage.
And that the suspect allegedly knew she was prone to seizures
and got behind the wheel at least twice before.
Her head was in the steering wheel and I was like,
oh no, she's headed towards an 18-wheeler.
Josiah Reed, one month before this tragic accident,
rescued Callahan after authorities say
she had a seizure driving in LaGrange.
Directly straight towards us, like just had to go off the
road into the median to miss her car.
But Reed managed to get out of his car and get
into Callahan's car to stop it.
I was able to dive headfirst towards the brake.
Not even five feet was other cars.
The city of LaGrange honored Reed for his heroics.
By me doing that, then I'll get my blessing one day.
And now to hear what happened to Callahan,
to hear what happened to Officer Krish is stunning, he says.
Say like two or three times we communicated after it happened and
she was just telling me she's like she's truly blessed that.
I could help her in the way that I did.
And then for this to happen is just- I was shocked
when I found out it happened.
I mean, I wish I was there to prevent it.
All right, now according to Georgia law,
if you have a history of seizures,
you are expected to report this to Driver Services.
And if you've had seizures, if you are seizure free for,
you must be seizure free for six months
before you can legally drive.
We're live in Carroll County, Kevin Stewart, Fox 5 News.
Kevin, thanks.
