TIPPECANOE COUNTY, Ind. (WLFI) - A Tippecanoe County woman faces more than a dozen criminal charges after a fatal crash earlier this month in Battle Ground.

According to court documents, 43-year-old Tamera Richards of Buck Creek is charged with several felonies, including operating a vehicle while intoxicated causing death and operating a vehicle with a schedule one or two controlled substance causing death.

On June 7, NewsChannel 18 reported the two-vehicle crash happened on Harrison Road just north of Battle Ground, sending six people to the hospital.

Police said the driver in the other car, Donna Wall, was airlifted to IU Health Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis.

Documents say Wall died last week as a result of her injuries from the crash.

Richards was taken to Franciscan Saint Elizabeth East Hospital in Lafayette the night of the crash where the lab reported she had a BAC of .11.
