Her family said she was on her way from work when Davis crossed the center lane and struck her vehicle head-on. Investigators said Davis left the scene and hid in the woods overnight before turning himself in.

After repeated delays, he was sentenced. Court records show Davis had dozens of traffic citations, dating back to 2001.
