A Cullman County grand jury recently indicted a local woman on a charge of vehicular homicide for the deaths of her mother and 4-year-old daughter.

Cullman County Sheriff’s deputies arrested Jacquelynne Michelle Cosper, 29, of Cullman Tuesday on the indictment, which included a charge of vehicular homicide as well as charges of driving under the influence and not using a child restraint.

Cosper was incarcerated at the Cullman County Detention Center, but has since been released on a $5,000 bond.

According to Alabama State Trooper reports, the incident occurred on June 6 on County Road 1545 in Fairview. The victims were identified as Linda Pope, 50, and Raegan Walker, 4, both of Cullman County.

Obituaries in the June 9 edition of The Cullman Times identified Pope as Cosper’s mother and Walker as Cosper’s daughter.

The state trooper report, which was presented to the Cullman County district attorney’s office, states Cosper was driving her 2007 Ford southbound on County Road 1545 when she entered a curve at a high rate of speed, causing the vehicle to leave the roadway and rotate. The vehicle then hit a tree.

The report alleges Cosper was intoxicated during the crash.

Cullman County Coroner Gary Murphree pronounced Pope and Walker dead at the scene at 9:40 p.m.

Walker was injured and flown to Huntsville Hospital for treatment.

Cullman County Circuit Court records did not have an attorney listed for Cosper.

A date for her trial has not yet been set.

Vehicular homicide is a Class C felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
