Woman was on Wendy's app when causing Harrisburg crash that killed 4-year-old, court docs show
HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — A woman with delta-9 THC in her system was on a fast-food app on her phone when she caused a crash in Harrisburg in November that killed a four-year-old girl, police said in court documents. Mary Kaye Flatley, 55, of Dauphin, was looking at the Wendy's app when she crashed into the back of a vehicle on U.S. Route 22/322 crash between Elmerton Avenue and Interstate 81 on Nov. 8 around 6:16 p.m., the charges filed show. Even though she denied being on her phone while she was driving a 2001 yellow Nissan Xterra, cell phone data showed police she was on it when she crashed, court docs show. A blood draw also showed that she was under the influence of drugs during the crash. Police said she told officers she took her 'prescribed medication' the night before the crash. According to a criminal complaint, the child was found unconscious on the rear floorboard of a red 2011 Suzuki after officers arrived at the scene and CPR was immediately administered. The child was then taken to the hospital. However, just before the four-year-old girl arrived at Penn State Holy Spirit Hospital she died, police said. Her cause of death was from multiple traumatic injuries. There were two other people inside the Suzuki, who were also taken to the hospital for treatment. Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now Flatley said she was leaving work at UPMC Harrisburg Hospital, and she did not see the vehicle. According to the complaint, she said she knows how congested traffic gets near the I-81 ramp and that she drives the route every day. The criminal complaint shows the crash happened when Flatley hit the back of the Suzuki and pushed it into a guide rail in the other lane. A video from PennDOT that police obtained showed the crash. It showed that the Nissan went partially airborne, and right before the crash, Flatley tried to make an 'evasive steering maneuver.' Flatley allegedly did not slow down despite multiple vehicles having their brake lights lit for stopped traffic due to congestion. Her vehicle was working fine and had no mechanical issues, police said they found out after inspecting the Nissan. It was noted in the charges that there was no booster seat in the vehicle the child was in. Flatley was charged with homicide by vehicle with DUI, homicide by vehicle, recklessly endangering another person, DUI, driving at safe speed and prohibiting text-based communications from the crash. Flatley was lodged in Dauphin County Prison with her bail set at $50,000 by Magisterial District Judge Matthew Pianka. She awaits a preliminary hearing scheduled for April 23.
