SALYERSVILLE — A Louisville woman has been charged with vehicular homicide when under the influence after a three-vehicle crash in Magoffin County that claimed the life of one man, authorities said.

Arnett was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later died from injuries sustained in the crash, police said.

Spurling was arrested and taken to the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center. She faces charges including vehicular homicide when under the influence, driving under the influence, and first-degree wanton endangerment.

The crash remains under investigation by KSP Detective James Cress, who specializes in accident reconstruction.
