HAMPTON, Va. – Virginia State Police charged Courteny Doursey, 25, with reckless driving, fail to maintain proper control of vehicle and no insurance Friday, for a car crash that happened on Monday.

This caused her to strike a 2005 Mercedes Benz. Once the Ford hit the Mercedes, it overturned multiple times before coming to a stop.

An unknown black male was also in the Ford Expedition, and limped away from the scene.
