Woman indicted in Carrollton officer’s death after construction zone crash

A woman has been indicted on several charges including vehicular homicide in connection with a crash that killed a Carrollton police officer, Atlanta News First reported. The indictment was issued by a grand jury and includes two counts each of first-degree homicide by vehicle, serious injury by vehicle, and reckless driving, along with failure to maintain lane and driving too fast for conditions.

The incident occurred on June 11, 2025, near an Ingles grocery store on Highway 27 in Carrollton. Officer Dustin Krish was directing traffic in a construction zone when the woman’s vehicle drifted out of its lane and struck him, FOX 5 Atlanta reported. Krish was critically injured and later died on June 9, 2026, after months of therapy and complications from pneumonia.

According to court records cited by FOX 5 Atlanta and WSB-TV, the woman, identified as 36-year-old Hannah Alivia Callahan, was driving about 41 mph and was allegedly talking on a cellphone at the time of the crash. Prosecutors also allege she knowingly drove despite a history of seizures, having experienced seizures behind the wheel at least twice before.

Callahan faces a total of eight criminal charges brought by the West Georgia Judicial Circuit District Attorney's Office. Her current custody status and plea remain unclear, FOX 5 Atlanta noted. The case highlights concerns about driving safety in construction zones and the risks posed by medical conditions while operating a vehicle.

The Carrollton community continues to remember Officer Krish, who is survived by his wife. Authorities and prosecutors are moving forward with the legal process following the indictment.
