Woman facing charges after fatal crash in court today

A Cumberland woman facing possible jail time after a fatal car accident is scheduled to be in court today.

Kellie Woodbine, 29, has been on home confinement since Feb. 12. Before that, she had been free on personal recognizance and recovering from the injuries she sustained in the Dec. 30, 2005 accident.

The crash was on Route 95, at the Pawtucket S-curve, between Exits 20 and 30. Woodbine was driving her pickup truck, when it struck a highway barrier, flew across the road, crashed into a bridge abutment and came to a rest on the shoulder of the highway where it burst into flames.

Woodbine’s passenger, Samantha Marie Beaudette, 16, of Pawtucket, was severely burned. She died two days after the crash. Woodbine has also been receiving treatment for severe burns.

Woodbine faces drunken and reckless driving charges in Superior Court, Providence.
