PANAMA CITY BEACH -- A woman was killed in a car crash Saturday afternoon and another driver was jailed for homicide, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The crash that killed 31-year-old Tara Marie Ashley of Panama City Beach happened around 4 p.m. Saturday at the intersection of Beach Drive and Upas Street. Ashley was a passenger in a 2014 Mercedes driven by Shaun Michael Gaiser.
Ashley and Gaiser were passing through the intersection of Beach and Upas when they were t-boned on the passenger side by a Chevy S-10 driven by 23-year-old Adam Brian Bailey of Hamburg, Ark., who had failed to stop for a stop sign. Gaiser was not injured, and Bailey and his passenger, 28-year-old Roddy Jay Bologh of Brandon, Fla., sustained minor injuries and were taken to Bay Medical Center.
Ashley was also taken to Bay Medical Center, but she did not survive the injuries she sustained in the crash.
The FHP said everyone involved was wearing a seatbelt, and alcohol was not a factor in the wreck.
Bailey was arrested and charged with vehicular homicide after FHP investigators determined he had caused the crash by driving recklessly.
Information on the case against Bailey was not available on the Clerk of Courts' website Sunday evening. It's not clear if he has an attorney or has appeared in court.
