Deputies are investigating a fatal crash that occurred early Saturday morning. On December 30, 2017, at 5:39 a.m., deputies responded to the 3-mile marker of Meadows Road for a report of a motor vehicle crash involving a female pedestrian.
Deputies say a silver 2005 Volkswagen Bug was traveling southbound on Meadows Road when it struck the woman, who was standing in the middle of the lane of travel. A northbound driver also witnessed the incident.
The investigation revealed that Sarah Marie Prinslow, 25, of the 6200-block of Sweet Lane, White City, was walking in the southbound lane of Meadows Road. Prinslow was struck by a southbound 2005 Volkswagen Beetle driven by Karen Dianne Beck, 51, of the 16600-block of Ramsey Road, White City.
