NORFOLK, Va. – The woman wanted for allegedly killing a driver when driving the wrong way in the Downtown Tunnel has turned herself in, Virginia State Police said Monday.
Dominique Goodwin turned herself in to Norfolk Police just before 11 a.m. Monday. She was taken to the hospital with serious injuries after the crash, but was released and left the hospital before she could be arrested.
Police say they were made aware of the crash around 3:15 a.m. on Dec. 30.

In the tunnel, they learned that 43-year-old Shelby "Lexus" Walker died instantly when she was hit head-on by a driver going the wrong way in the tunnel.
Police said that due to manpower and an unknown release time, it wasn’t feasible to have a trooper stand watch when her identity was already known.
After Goodwin left the hospital, police said she went into hiding, and a warrant for her arrest was obtained on Jan. 3.
